Patent attributes
A device comprises a first amplifier, a first resistive element that comprises a first resistor and a first dummy switch, a second amplifier, a second resistive element that comprises a second resistor and a second dummy switch, and a programmable resistive gain element operable to receive control input, wherein a resistance value of the programmable resistive gain element is based at least in part on the received control input, wherein a first end of the programmable resistive gain element is connected to both the first inverting input of the first amplifier and to a second end of the first dummy switch, and wherein a second end of the programmable resistive gain element is connected to both the second inverting input of the second amplifier and to a second end of the second dummy switch.
