  • Controllable amplifier and method for amplifying a signal
    Publication number: 20060202751
    Abstract: A controllable amplifier and a method for amplifying a signal dependent on an analog control signal (CTRL) are disclosed. A first and a second amplifier transistor are each arranged with an assigned cascode transistor in respective current paths. The amplification value of the amplifier transistors in the different current paths is preset by means of a respective control signal by activation of the assigned cascode transistor dependent on a desired signal for the overall amplification (CTRL). The controllable amplifier has application to high-frequency transmission arrangements for signal amplification.

  • Adjustable gain amplifier arrangement with relaxed manufacturing constraints
    Patent number: 7009449
    Abstract: An amplifier arrangement includes a variable-gain signal amplifier. A control block is used to process a control signal in order to set the gain. A trimming unit acts on the control block such that signals which are produced by the control block can be trimmed relative to one another in order to set the gain of the signal amplifier.
