    摘要: The present invention discloses a gain control circuit capable of easing leakage current influence. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the gain control circuit comprises: at least one signal input end for receiving at least one input signal; a signal output end for outputting an output signal; an amplifier coupled between an amplifier input end and the signal output end; and a plurality of gain schemes. Each of the gain schemes is set between the at least one signal input end and the signal output end; and when one of the gain schemes is activated to generate the output signal, the rest gain schemes are inactivated to stop gain production and concurrently discharge leakage currents through their respective grounding paths.

    摘要: An alternating-current (AC) coupling integrated circuit (IC) suppresses signal errors introduced by a steady-state input signal. The IC includes an operational amplifier, a true direct-current (DC) bias network, a complimentary DC-bias network and first and second feedback elements. The operational amplifier has an inverting input, a non-inverting input and an output. The true DC-bias network has first and second branches that are coupled to one another and the non-inverting input. The complimentary DC-bias network has third and fourth branches that are coupled to one another and the inverting input. First and second feedback elements generate first and second control signals in response to a characteristic of one of the true input signal and the complimentary input signal. The control signals prevent the voltage at the inputs to the operational amplifier from reaching an equivalent, steady-state, DC-bias voltage.

    摘要: A method and system for providing automatic gain control for a differential amplifier are provided. An impedance network is set to have a first impedance that corresponds to a first gain for a differential amplifier, which amplifies an input signal by the first gain. Once the amplified input signal is greater than a first threshold voltage, the impedance network is set to have a second impedance that corresponds to a second gain for the differential amplifier, which amplifies the input signal. Once amplified input signal is greater than a second threshold voltage and a predetermined period has lapsed, the impedance network is reset to have the first impedance that corresponds to a first gain for the differential amplifier.
