This resistivity logging automatic gain control circuit adopts the basic principle of negative feedback. When the input signal V1 increases, the output signal V2 of the transconductance amplifier circuit 101 also increases, the output signal V3 of the signal conditioning circuit 102 decreases, and the output V_CON of the integration circuit 103 also increases.

The specific DC voltage can be set by setting the capacitance values ​​of capacitors C1 and C2. The current of the control pin CON of the input transconductance amplifier circuit 101 can be adjusted by setting the resistance value of resistor R11.
