Abstract
A gain control circuit and a variable gain amplifier using the same. In the variable gain amplifier, gain control circuit generates a gain control voltage according to a control voltage, and a gain variable amplification unit is coupled to the gain control circuit and an input voltage to adjust an output signal output to a load according to the gain control voltage. In the gain control circuit, a level shifter with a constant current source generates a first voltage according to a control voltage. A first temperature compensation unit has a first temperature-controlled current source, and generates a second voltage according to a present operating temperature. A voltage conversion unit coupled to the level shifter and the first temperature compensation unit generates a gain control voltage according to the first and second voltages.
