Abstract

A circuit includes an amplifier and a feedback network coupled between the input and the output of the amplifier. The feedback network includes a plurality of parallel coupled branches, each branch having a first selection switch coupled to the input, a second selection switch coupled to the output, and an impedance between the first and second selection switches. Each branch includes a plurality of signal feedback paths coupled in parallel, each having a tuning switch coupled between the first selection switch and the second selection switch of that branch. A control unit is coupled to the feedback network and configured to vary a gain of the amplifier by selectively placing the first and second selection switches of each branch in a conductive state or a non-conductive state and selectively activating respective tuning switches of any branch having first and second selection switches in the conductive state.
