摘要:
In a preamplifier for amplifying an input signal supplied to an input terminal to supply an amplified output signal and a reference output signal to an output terminal and a reference output terminal, respectively, a reference level circuit produces a reference level. An amplifier is connected to the reference level circuit and has a predetermined structure. The amplifier amplifies the input signal into the amplified output signal with reference to the reference level to supply the amplified output signal to the output terminal. A dummy circuit is connected to the reference level circuit and has a structure which is identical with the predetermined structure. The dummy circuit responds to the reference level to produce the reference output signal related to the amplified output signal.
摘要:
In an optical receiver, a photodiode converts an optical digital input signal to an electrical signal which is fed into a differential amplifier to produce a pair of true and complementary output signals. The true output signal is received by a peak detector and the output of this peak detector is summed in a first adder with the complementary output of the differential amplifier. The true output of the amplifier is summed in a second adder with a predetermined constant voltage. Difference between the output signals of the first and second adders is detected and compared with a decision threshold to produce an output signal at one of two logical levels depending on whether the difference is higher or lower than the decision threshold. Preferably, a second peak detector having a substantially similar operating characteristic to that of the first peak detector is connected between the source of the predetermined constant voltage and the second adder.
