摘要
This paper presents a low-voltage low-power variable gain amplifier, which is applied in the automatic gain control loop of a super heterodyne receiver. Six stages are cascaded to provide an 81 dB digitally controlled gain range in a 3 dB step. The gain step error is less than 0.5 dB. It operates at an intermediate frequency of 300 kHz, and the power consumption is 1.35 mW from a 1.8 V supply. The prototype chip is implemented in a TSMC's 0.18 μm 1P6M CMOS process and occupies approximately 0.24 mm2. It is very suitable for portable wireless communication systems. The measurement results agree well with the system requirements.
