Abstract

See full text

A non-attenuating automatic variable gain amplifier (VGA) circuit includes an operational amplifier (op amp) with a feedback resistor connected between its output and inverting input terminals. A variable gain setting resistance circuit having a variable resistance is the gain setting resistor positioned between the op amp's inverting input and a low voltage supply. By varying the resistance of the variable resistance circuit, the gain of the VGA circuit can be manipulated without requiring attenuation of the input signal. A resistance setting control for the variable resistance circuit can operate open loop, fed back from the amplifier output, or fed forward from the amplifier input.
