Abstract: A transforming device for transforming computer graphics signals to television signals is provided. The transforming device includes a scaled-down line generating unit that receives the computer vertical line and generates the scaled-down vertical line, a controller that receives the scaled-down vertical line, and a scaled-down buffer that stores the scaled-down vertical line or the value of the scaled-down vertical line performed by the weighted-averages method. The content of the scaled-down buffer is transmitted to a weighted-averages operation unit, and then it is performed by the weighted-averages method with the next scaled-down vertical line. When a TV line is generated, it is the output of the transforming device. The present invention has the advantage of reducing the needed buffers in the transforming process and thereby reducing the cost.

Abstract: The signal amplifier of this invention includes a noise amplifier that amplifies a difference between a first ground potential and a second ground potential, and an adding amplifier that superposes an analog input signal on an output potential of the noise amplifier, and amplifies a difference between the first ground potential and a potential having the analog input signal and the output potential superposed. Thus, the adding amplifier superposes the noises amplified by the noise amplifier on the analog input signal, and thereafter amplifies the difference between the first ground potential and the potential thus superposed. Thereby, the signal amplifier is able to amplify only the analog input signal, without amplifying the noises of the first ground potential or the second ground potential.
