Abstract :
In this paper, we analyze the propagation of uncertainties in a programmable gain amplifier. The circuit is based on a superregenerative configuration and its gain is set by the duty-cycle of a digital signal. The uncertainty analysis allows for better component specifications in the circuit design, identifying the sources of uncertainties that play major role on the final gain uncertainty.
