    摘要: A method and apparatus for adaptively controlling a variable gain amplifier (VGA). The operation of the VGA is separated into a low gain mode and a high gain mode and the mode in which the VGA is currently operating in is adaptively sensed. A threshold voltage is compared to a control voltage of the VGA; if the VGA is currently operating in the low gain mode and the control voltage is higher than the threshold voltage, the VGA is switched from the low gain mode to the high gain mode; and if the VGA is currently operating in the high gain mode and the control voltage is lower than the threshold voltage, the VGA is switched from the high gain mode to the low gain mode.

    摘要: A voltage subtractor/adder circuit comprises a differential pair having first and second MOS transistors. Gate electrodes of the first and second MOS transistors form input terminals for receiving an input differential voltage. Drain electrodes of the first and second MOS transistors form output terminals for outputting a subtraction output signal. Source electrodes of the first and second MOS transistors are commonly coupled to form an output terminal for addition output voltage. The sum of currents flowing through the first and second MOS transistors increases in proportion to the square of the input differential voltage. It is also possible to drive the differential pair by a constant current source. A level shifter may be provided for level-shifting the addition output voltage from the commonly coupled source electrodes.
