Equalizer circuit with variable gain and dc gain control
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240039495A1) describes an equalizer circuit that includes a variable gain equalizer circuit and a first bias circuit generating a first bias voltage. The variable gain equalizer circuit consists of transistors, resistors, current sources, and a capacitor. The resistance of the third resistor in the circuit is variable, allowing for digital control. Additionally, the circuit can be integrated with multiple variable gain equalizer circuits in series, each with digitally controllable resistors and a common bias voltage supply.
Furthermore, the equalizer circuit features a variable capacitance capacitor and utilizes current D/A converters and I/V conversion circuits in the bias circuits to convert digital inputs into gradated current outputs for bias voltages. The circuit can also include a field effect transistor in the third resistor and a second bias circuit for supplying a second bias voltage to the transistor's gate. Overall, the equalizer circuit is designed to be integrally mounted on a single semiconductor substrate, offering a compact and efficient solution for equalization applications in various electronic devices.
