Patent attributes
An electronic circuit arrangement is provided which comprises an input terminal configured to input an input signal to be amplified and an output terminal configured to output the amplified input signal as an output signal. A signal path is defined between the input terminal and the output terminal. An amplifier unit having an amplifier gain is provided and being configured to amplify the input signal and for generating the output signal. A variation of an operational current of the amplifier unit is configured to provide a variation of the amplifier gain. The amplifier unit is arranged within the signal path. Furthermore a gain control unit is configured to control the gain of the amplifier unit by adjusting the operational current of the amplifier unit. The gain control unit is arranged outside the signal path.
