  • Patent number: 12113495
    Abstract: An amplifier circuit having an adjustable gain is provided. The amplifier circuit includes an input terminal, an output terminal, an amplifier, and an attenuation circuit. The input terminal receives an input signal, which is in turn received by an input terminal of the amplifier. An output terminal of the amplifier outputs the input signal that is amplified. The attenuation circuit is coupled between the output terminal of the amplifier and the output terminal to provide a plurality of attenuation to the input signal that is amplified and generate a first attenuation signal, or between the input terminal and the output terminal to provide the plurality of attenuations to the input signal and generate a second attenuation signal. A difference between an impedance value of the input terminal of the attenuation circuit and an impedance value of the output terminal of the attenuation circuit is within a predetermined range.

  • Patent number: 12040757
    Abstract: An amplifier circuit includes a first amplifier and a second amplifier. The first amplifier receives a first signal and generates a first amplification signal accordingly. The second amplifier receives a second signal and generates a second amplification signal accordingly. The first signal is related to a first frequency band, and the second signal is related to a second frequency band different from the first frequency band. When one of the first amplifier and the second amplifier is in use, the other one of the first amplifier and the second amplifier is unused. The first amplifier and second amplifier are coupled to a reference voltage terminal through a common node. The first amplifier includes a switch coupled between the common node and a stage of the first amplifier, and the switch can be controlled for reducing the loading effect caused by the first amplifier on the second amplifier.
