A digitally adjustable amplifier with adjustable input offset voltage and amplification parameters for use in integrated circuits. Such adjustments are carried out by a binary counter which controls a non-binary weighting element which by a non-binary weighting of each stage to the next stage intentionally has a non-linearity of the ideal characteristic curve because of greater negative steps at increasing value count so that the steps remain below one least significant bit. Thus greater errors even can be tolerated, and a desired value can be very closely attained.
