Abstract: An input branch of a loss-of-signal (LOS) detector is coupled to a first input of a comparator. A threshold branch of the LOS detector is coupled to a second input of the comparator. An operational amplifier is connected between the input branch and the threshold branch to couple an offset level from the input branch to the threshold branch. The offset level is then cancelled at the comparator.

Abstract: A first amplifier receives an input signal and outputs an amplified input signal. A peak detector receives the amplified input signal and outputs a signal that represents a peak level of the amplified input signal. A threshold generator generates a threshold signal. A second amplifier receives the threshold signal and outputs an amplified threshold signal. A comparator compares the signal output from the peak detector with the amplified threshold signal to detect loss of the input signal.

Abstract: Described are a circuit and system to provide an output signal in response to composite input signal comprising an AC signal component and a DC signal component. An amplifier provides an amplified voltage signal in response to a voltage representative of the composite signal. A filter may provide a filtered voltage signal having a magnitude that is representative of a magnitude of the DC signal component in response to the amplified voltage signal. A DC signal removal circuit may substantially remove at least a portion of the DC signal component from an input terminal in response filtered voltage signal.

Abstract: A charge pump includes a first current source, a second current source, and a current mirror. The first current source is included to set a common mode output voltage of a charge pump core based on a desired common mode input of the charge pump core.
