Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of analog signal processing and communication, and is particularly suitable for the design of wireless transceivers and audio / video analog signal processing circuits. Background technique [0002] Variable gain amplifiers are widely used in communication circuits and audio / video analog signal processing circuits. Generally, variable gain amplifiers are required to have a linear relationship between the gain in dB and the control voltage, a large output gain range, a large input dynamic range, low noise, low voltage and low power consumption. The performance of the variable gain amplifier directly affects the performance of the system. However, there are many and high requirements on the indicators and requirements of the variable gain amplifier, which makes it difficult to design a variable gain amplifier with good performance. [0003] To make the gain range of the variable gain amplifier large, the gener...
