Abstract
A variable gain amplifier for amplifying an input voltage at a gain defined by a binary code includes: a signal input terminal; a signal output terminal; a charge division means that accumulates a charge, divides an accumulated charge, and accumulates a divided charge; a charge cumulation means that accumulates a charge, adds or subtracts an accumulated charge with or from the divided charge in the charge division means, and accumulates a resultant charge; and a controller that initially executes to accumulate the charge corresponding to the input voltage in the charge division means, executes to accumulate the charge corresponding to the input voltage or a predetermined voltage in the charge cumulation means, executes a charge dividing operation according to each bit of the binary code sequentially from a most significant bit, and executes a charge adding or subtracting operation according to an data value in each bit.
