Abstract
A low-power, high-linearity programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with DC-offset calibration (DCOC) is presented. The PGA has a large gain range from 5dB to 65dB with 1dB step. Benefited from an improved source-degenerated architecture, the measured gain error is less than 0.15dB. By adopting the closed-loop architecture and resistor array optimization, the PGA achieves an OIP3 of 19.2dBm and an output P1dB of 7.58dBm. Two methods are implemented for DC-offset cancellation: RC high-pass filter (HPF) and digital-assisted DCOC. Implemented in TSMC 0.18um process, the PGA occupies 0.37mm2 die area and consumes 1.82mA (I and Q path) from a 1.7V supply.
