Analog-based DC offset compensation

Abstract:

An apparatus for reducing or removing a direct current (DC) offset voltage from one or more analog signals is disclosed. An analog signal may be received by an integrator. The integrator may integrate the analog signal to determine a DC offset error signal. The apparatus may integrate, invert, and amplify the DC offset error signal to provide an analog correction signal. The analog correction signal may be inverted and subtracted from the analog signal. In some implementations, the apparatus may include multiple, independent circuits to reduce or remove DC offset voltages from differential signals.
