An alternating-current (AC) coupling integrated circuit (IC) suppresses signal errors introduced by a steady-state input signal. The IC includes an operational amplifier, a true direct-current (DC) bias network, a complimentary DC-bias network and first and second feedback elements. The operational amplifier has an inverting input, a non-inverting input and an output. The true DC-bias network has first and second branches that are coupled to one another and the non-inverting input. The complimentary DC-bias network has third and fourth branches that are coupled to one another and the inverting input. First and second feedback elements generate first and second control signals in response to a characteristic of one of the true input signal and the complimentary input signal. The control signals prevent the voltage at the inputs to the operational amplifier from reaching an equivalent, steady-state, DC-bias voltage.

A method and system for providing automatic gain control for a differential amplifier are provided. An impedance network is set to have a first impedance that corresponds to a first gain for a differential amplifier, which amplifies an input signal by the first gain. Once the amplified input signal is greater than a first threshold voltage, the impedance network is set to have a second impedance that corresponds to a second gain for the differential amplifier, which amplifies the input signal. Once amplified input signal is greater than a second threshold voltage and a predetermined period has lapsed, the impedance network is reset to have the first impedance that corresponds to a first gain for the differential amplifier.
