Abstract
Amplifiers, preamplifiers, and other circuits may have registers that are assigned to store data corresponding to certain functions. When the data stored in the registers are no longer needed, the registers may be assigned to store data corresponding to other functions, such as signal acquisition. The registers can be logically grouped into a virtual memory bank. The memory bank may store new data to a first register, and move data from the first register to a second register when new data arrives. In some embodiments, these registers and memory control circuit can be implemented within a preamplifier circuit.
