Abstract

PURPOSE:To vary continuously the gain of an amplifier in a wide range of frequency with a simple circuit constitution by controlling the gain of the amplifier in response to the received light volume of a photodetector connected to a feedback circuit of the amplifier. CONSTITUTION:A control input is applied to a control input terminal 13 to control a transistor TR11, and therefore the quantity of current flowing to an LED9b of a photocoupler 9 is varied to control the emitted light volume. Thus the resistance value of a CdS9a of the light emission side is reduced in adverse proportion to the emitted light volume. Thus the negative feedback quantity is decided by the synthetic resistance of a feedback resistance 5 and the resistance of the CdS9a. Then the gain is decided in relation to a resistance 2.

By the way, the feedback resistor (5) governs the operation of this amplifier.
The analog switch (9) connected in parallel with the transistor (111) is turned on and off by applying a control signal to the control input terminal (13). On the other hand, if there is no control signal, the analog switch (9) is turned off, so the overall feedback resistance is the resistance (
5). In this way, depending on the presence or absence of the control signal, the analog switch (9) is turned on and off to control the negative feedback resistance value of the amplifier (4), thereby increasing the amplification degree.
In other words, the gain can be selected.

When the amount of light emitted is controlled by changing the amount of current flowing through (9b), the resistance value of the light receiving side (E d S (9a) decreases in almost inverse proportion to the amount of light emitted. This causes the feedback resistance (5) and C S (9a) (7) The sum of the resistances is determined to be 1ffl resistance.That is, the resistance value of Cd S (9a) is the LED
