摘要:
A linear relationship is established between a gain control signal and an amplification factor (value in dB). Described is a current generation circuit including a first current output section which outputs a first current, a second current output section which outputs a second current proportional to the first current, and a variable-current control section which generates a third current proportional to the first current, divides the third current into a fourth current and a fifth current according to a first control signal, and outputs the fourth and the fifth currents. The current generation circuit outputs a sum of the first and the fourth currents as a reference current, and a sum of the second and the fifth currents as an output current.
