Abstract text

An amplifier includes steering stages to receive a control signal and collectively provide an output signal. Each steering stage receives an associated input signal and contributes to the output signal based on the control signal. The amplifier includes an attenuator to selectively attenuate the input signals to form different gain control ranges for the amplifier.
