ABSTRACT:
A wide dynamic range automatic high speed gain ranging amplifier system includes a receiver circuit adapted to receive an analog input signal. A single stage amplifier is connected to the receiver circuit which amplifies a received analog signal to provide an output signal. A control circuit connected to the receiver circuit and to the amplifier controls the gain of the amplifier in accordance with the output signal and provides digital gain signals corresponding thereto.
