    摘要: A CMOS automatic gain control (AGC) circuit that receives an analog control voltage and generates a temperature compensated gain voltage to linearly control the gain of a variable gain circuit operating in the sub-threshold region. A PTAT circuit having a resistor network coupled to a current mirror circuit operating in the sub-threshold region establishes a current having an proportional relationship to temperature. This current is used as a supply for a voltage to voltage converter circuit which generates an intermediate voltage in response to the analog control voltage. A linearizing circuit operating in the sub-threshold region pre-conditions the intermediate voltage, which is then applied to a variable gain circuit. The variable gain circuit is operated in the sub-threshold region, and the preconditioned intermediate voltage will control the amount of gain to be substantially linear with respect to the analog control voltage, and with a range of about 85 dB.

    摘要: An integrated circuit (ICT) comprising a filter (50). The filter comprises an input (&ugr;in+) for receiving an input signal and an output (56) for producing an output signal having a frequency cutoff point. The filter further comprises at least one resistor network (RN1) coupled between the input and the output. The resistor network comprises a first non-switched resistance (R1.1) and a first resistance series connection connected in parallel with the first non-switched resistance. The first resistance series connection comprises a switched resistance (R1.2) connected in series with a source/drain path of a switching transistor (TRR1.2), the switching transistor having a gate for receiving a control signal. The frequency cutoff point is adjustable in response to the control signal. Additionally, the switched resistance has a first resistance and the switching transistor has an on-resistance. Further, the on-resistance is at least 20 percent of the total of the first resistance and the on-resistance.
