  • Reduction of sensitivity of an amplifier to an offset voltage
    Patent number: 6700443
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of amplifying an input signal having a DC component and an AC component. The method includes the steps of: comparing the input signal with a reference value, generating an intermediate signal by subtracting from the input signal a correction signal resulting from the comparison step, rectifying the intermediate signal, evaluating a mean value of the rectified intermediate signal, and multiplying the input signal by the mean value. The invention allows a reduction in the sensitivity of the amplifier to the DC component of the input signal.
