ABSTRACT:
A programmable gain amplifier (PGA) controlled through a serial communications interface are fabricated on an integrated circuit (IC). A multiplexer (MUX) may also be included on the IC. The serial communications interface controls the gain of the PGA, MUX channel selection, and other functions of the PGA. Status of the PGA may also be obtained through the serial communications interface. By using a serial communications interface, the pin count of the PGA IC package may be kept to a minimum.
