Automatically gain controllable linear differential amplifier using variable degeneration resistor

摘要

An automatically gain controllable linear differential amplifier using a variable degeneration resistor is disclosed. The linear differential amplifier includes an input end, a bias current source, a load unit, a first MOS transistor and a second MOS transistor. The linear differential amplifiers of the present invention can control an amplifying gain according to an input signal and improve linearity IIP3 without needing additional power consumption caused by improving the linearity. The automatically gain controllable linear differential amplifier uses NMOS/PMOS transistor so an integration process of the amplifier can be implemented more conveniently and efficiently.
