  • AC coupled pre-amplifier for burst signal
    Patent number: 6420928
    Abstract: An AC-coupled pre-amplifier is provided for amplifying a signal received in a packet transmitted in burst mode. The pre-amplifier provides a fast time constant for a driven edge of a received signal and a slower time constant for a undriven edge of the received signal. The decay of the undriven edge is faster than the inter-packet time between two received packets. The dual response times, allows for the inter-packet time to be less than the longest string of constant data received in a packet.
