Switch for use in a programmable gain amplifier
A switch circuit is provided. The switch circuit may include a first transistor having a source terminal to accept an input signal, a drain terminal to provide an output signal, and a gate; a power supply providing a gate voltage. The switch circuit may also include a circuit to couple a switch signal to the gate, wherein the circuit turns the first transistor ‘off’ for all values of the input signal when the switch signal is ‘low.’ A programmable gain amplifier (PGA) is also provided. The PGA may include an input stage having an input node to couple an input signal, and an output node to provide a gate signal, at least a first gain stage including a resistor and a switch circuit as above. A differential gain amplifier may be included to provide an output signal from the gain signal.
