Digital Automatic Gain Control Agc -  (electronic circuit added 7/03)
Full-wave rectifier has programmable gain -  11/09/00 EDN-Design Ideas  The traditional approach to the design of a full-wave rectifier (Figure 1) is to set the gains of IC1 and IC2 to 1 and use the….PDF contains multiple circuits, scroll to find the one of interest.... [Design Idea by Chuck and Chris Wojslaw, Xicor Inc, Milpitas, CA]
Gain-of-three amplifier requires no external resistors -  17-Aug-06 Issue of EDN  One IC provides wideband amplification and minimizes parts count.... [Design Idea by Marián Stofka, Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava, Slovakia; Edited by Brad Thompson and Fran Granville]
Gain-of-two instrumentation amplifier uses no external resistors -  15-Feb-07 Issue of EDN  Two ICs deliver precision gain with no external components.... [Design Idea by Marián Štofka, Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava, Slovakia; Edited by Brad Thompson and Fran Granville]

Gain-programmable circuit offers performance and flexibility -  25-Nov-04 Issue of EDN  You can use a standard precision instrumentation amplifier, such as the INA118 or AD623, as a gain-programmable amplifier with high accuracy and wide gain range. However, the gain range of such parts is fixed at certain values, limiting their flexibility. To solve the problem, a usual way is to use a gain-adjustable circuit controlled by a microcomputer (Figure 1].... [Design Idea by Luo Bencheng, Key Laboratory of Mental Health, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences]
High-Frequency AGC has Digital Control -  05/21/98 EDN-Design Ideas   As FPGA capabilities increase and time to market decreases, FPGAs gain more acceptance for implementing both data and control paths. Thus, they find wide use as controllers and datapath glue logic for fast-page DRAMs. Synchronous DRAMs (SDRAMs], whose....file has several circuits, pleaas scroll to find this one.... [Design Idea by Ron Mancini, Harris Semiconductor, Melbourne, FL]
Low-noise ac amplifier has digital control of gain and bandwidth -  02/05/04 EDN-Design Ideas  In low-noise analog circuits, a high-gain amplifier serves at the input to increase the SNR. The input signal level determines the input-stage gain; low-level signals require the highest gain. It is also standard practice in low-noise analog-signal processing to make the circuit's bandwidth as narrow as possible to pass only the useful input-signal spectrum.... [Design Idea by Philip Karantzalis, Linear Technology, Milpitas, CA,
OA-16: OA-16 Wideband AGC Amplifier as a Differential Amplifier -  National Semiconductor Application Note  (app note added 6/06)
Sync Separator Includes AGC -  05/11/95 EDN-Design IdeasThis sync separation circuit has a gain-control circuit that helps to stabilize the sync-separation function....[Design Idea added 6/06] EDN migrating links. This link is not verified.  Google the "title" EDN for new link.
Wideband AGC Amplifier as a Differential Amplifier -  National Semiconductor Application Note 10-Apr-2000 (app note added 4/02)
Wideband AGC has 60 DB Dynamic Input Range -  10/10/96 EDN-Design Ideas:   Automatic-gain-control (AGC] circuits serve in many applications to maintain signals at fixed levels. However, in applications such as digital-receiver circuits and back-channel modems, the function of the AGC often aims more at increasing dynamic input range through the controlled application of both gain and attenuation. In this type of application, the AGC is usually upstream of a high-speed ADC. The.... [Design Idea by Carl Dickey, National Semiconductor, Comlinear Division]
