16.6 Programmable Gain Amplifiers
As seen in Figure 16-1, the zooming function is implemented with three programmable gain amplifiers (PGA). These
are:
•
PGA1: coarse gain tuning
•
PGA2: medium gain and offset tuning
•
PGA3: fine gain and offset tuning
All gain and offset settings are realized with ratios of capacitors. The user has control over each PGA activation and
gain, as well as the offset of stages 2 and 3. These functions are examined hereafter.
