Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a method and circuit arrangement for adjusting a gain, wherein said circuit arrangement comprises at least a first output branch connected to a first load and a second output branch connected to a second load. The gain control function is realized based on a current splitting, wherein a non-operated output branch is used as a kind of dummy branch for receiving a part of the output current. Thus, only as many output branches as there are outputs are required to implement a gain control based on splitting. Thereby, a complexity of the layout design is reduced and control and biasing of dummy branches is not required.
