Abstract
One aspect of the embodiments relates to a programmable gain circuit including an amplification unit amplifying an input signal, an input resistor coupled to an input terminal of the amplification unit, a feedback resistor coupled between an output terminal of the amplification unit and the input terminal of the amplification unit, a first switch switching a resistance value of the feedback resistor, a second switch switching a resistance value of the input resistor, and a control unit controlling the second switch such that the second switch switches the resistance value of the input resistor when the first switch switches the resistance value of the feedback resistor.
