A digitally programmable switched capacitor gain and attenuation circuit that uses the same switched capacitor array for a multitude of different gain and/or attenuation settings with a single operational amplifier is disclosed. With the top plates of the capacitors connected to the operational amplifier input, the unique switching of the bottom plates of the capacitor array elements between three voltages-the circuit output, the circuit input, or a chosen reference voltage such as a power supply midpoint voltage or a ground voltage of the circuit, makes this circuit arrangement's component area smaller and the operational amplifier's design specification less demanding for applications such as a digital camera front end analog processor.
