A CMOS linear-in-dB VGA based on exponential current generator
This paper proposes a simple CMOS exponential current circuit that is capable to control a Variable Gain Amplifier with a linear-in-dB manner. The proposed implementation is based on a Taylor's series approximation of the exponential function. A simple VGA architecture has been designed in a CMOS 90nm technology, in order to validate the theoretical analysis. The approximation achieves a 17dB linear range with less than 0.5dB approximation error, while the overall power consumption is less than 300μW.
