Abstract
An amplifier gain control circuit for the wireless transceiver comprises at least one amplifier, an analog to digital converter (ADC), a digital to analog converter (DAC) and a bias circuit, wherein the ADC is used for receiving an analog gain control voltage to generate a digital control signal that can be used for controlling the gain of the amplifier, the DAC is used for receiving the digital signal to generate an analog signal, and the bias circuit is used for receiving the analog signal and the analog gain control voltage to further fine-tune the gain of the amplifier by the analog process for correcting the least bit error during the digital process, therefore, the amplifier during the gain adjustment will be prevented to operate in the nonlinear area.
