A variable gain amplifier has a gain control circuit. The gain control circuit includes a first control input and a second control input. The first control input receives a first control signal. The gain control circuit varies gain of the variable gain amplifier based on a value of the first control signal. The second control input receives a second control signal. The gain control circuit varies gain slope of the variable gain amplifier based on a value of the second control signal.
