Abstract
A feedback amplifier includes an operational amplifier having an input end and an output end. A first resistor is coupled with the input end of the operational amplifier. A second resistor has a first end coupled with the input end of the operational amplifier and a second end coupled with the output end of the amplifier. A voltage divider has a first end being operably coupled with the output end of the operational amplifier and a second end being analog grounded. In an embodiment, the feedback amplifier further includes a first switch coupled to the first end of the voltage divider and the output end of the operational amplifier, and a second switch coupled to an internal node of the voltage divider. In an embodiment, the feedback amplifier is configured to provide attenuation when the first switch is open and second switch is closed.
