Abstract

The invention discloses a digital gain controlling means. An N-bit binary digit gain control code controls the resistance of a variable resistor in a variable gain amplifier for the gain adjustment of the variable gain amplifier; an MOS transistor array is used as the variable resistor; the variable resistance value is controlled by utilizing the relation between the on-resistance between source electrodes and drain electrodes of transistors and the voltage of grid electrodes; a gain control module generates the grid electrode voltage of each transistor in the MOS transistor array according to the N-bit binary digit gain control code; a circuit for realizing the digital gain controlling means is also disclosed. By adopting the digital gain controlling means and the circuit, an integrated circuit is led to have smaller chip area when satisfying the gain control demand of large range and high precision.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wireless transceiver integrated circuit technology, in particular to a digital gain control method and circuit. Background technique [0002] In modern wireless communication transceiver integrated circuits, gain adjustment is an essential function due to the strict requirements on the transmit power and the uncertainty of the receive power. Gain adjustment can be realized by analog and digital methods, and the digital method has the characteristics of simple implementation and good performance because it can use the advanced digital signal processing circuit integrated in the transceiver, which is in line with the trend of today's digital wireless transceivers. Digital control gain adjustment uses digital signals to control the gain of the amplifier. In many applications, a large gain control range (such as 40dB~60dB) and high adjustment accuracy (such as 0.1dB~0.5dB) are often required. In addition, since the gain control ...
