摘要:
A balanced differential transimpedance amplifier with a single-ended input operational over a wide variation in the dynamic range of input signals. A threshold circuit is employed to either or a combination of (1) generate a varying decision threshold to ensure a proper slicing over a wide range of input current signal levels; and (2) generate a bias current and voltage applied to an input of a transimpedance stage to cancel out a dependence of the transimpedance stage voltage input on input current signal levels.

There are described an amplifying circuit unit and an amplifying circuit which can momentarily compensate for a d.c. potential offset of a difference output signal stemming from a d.c. potential offset of a difference input signal and achieve a good characteristic. The amplifying circuit unit includes a differential amplifying circuit which receives and amplifies positive-phase and negative-phase signals; a first peak detection circuit for detecting a peak value of the positive-phase signal input to the differential amplifying circuit; a second peak detection circuit for detecting a peak value of the negative-phase signal input to the differential amplifying circuit; and an offset compensation circuit for compensating for a d.c. potential offset arising in a differential signal output from the differential amplifying circuit, on the basis of the peak values detected by the peak detection circuits.

Disclosed in this application is the placement of an additional integrator between the first stage integrator output and the input to the attenuator/low pass filter. This approach reduces the input referred offset by a factor equal to the gain of the additional integrator, and the offset of the additional integrator itself will be divided by the gain of the first-stage integrator.

A differential amplifier (11) differentially amplifies an inputted burst signal. A first maximum value holding circuit (12) detects and holds the maximum value of an inverting output of the differential amplifier (11). A second maximum value holding circuit (13) detects and holds the maximum value of a non-inverting output of the differential amplifier (11). A differential amplifier (14) differentially amplifies outputs of the first and second maximum value holding circuits (12) and (13). An output of the differential amplifier (14) is fed to a differential amplifier (15) as a reference input. The differential amplifier (15) differentially amplifies the non-inverting output of the differential amplifier (11) with the reference input from the differential amplifier (14) used as a basis. The first and second maximum value holding circuits (12) and (13) have the same circuit design, and the sizes and the directions of variations respectively occurring inside thereof are the same. The differential amplifier (14) is so constructed that the amplification factor thereof is set to 0.5, and a variation occurring inside thereof is the same as a variation occurring inside of the differential amplifier (11). Respective output variations occurring in the maximum value holding circuits (12) and (13) due to a temperature variation and a power supply voltage variation are canceled by providing differential amplification in the differential amplifier (14). At this time, an output variation occurring in the differential amplifier (11) is also canceled. Therefore, an output variation occurring in the differential amplifier (14) is made equal in value to the output variation occurring in the differential amplifier (11), so that the same variation as a signal input is superimposed on the reference input fed to the differential amplifier (15). Consequently, a reference input accurately following the DC level of the signal input can be fed to the differential amplifier (15), whereby stable amplification can be always provided.

摘要:
A signal processing circuit (10) generates a bias signal (27) that is used for biasing a comparator (26). An input signal (14) is compared to the bias signal (27) in order to reconstruct the input signal (14) on an output of the comparator. The bias signal (27) is generated by selecting the larger of a percent of the input signal (23) or an offset signal (24) that is larger than a minimum value of the input signal.
