Publication number: 20240072736Abstract: An amplifier DC bias protection circuit includes an amplifier module, a filter module and a comparator module. The amplifier module converts an input signal into a non-inverting signal and an inverting signal. The filter module blocks AC signals in the non-inverting signal and the inverting signal, thereby providing a first DC bias signal and a second DC bias signal accordingly. The comparator module is configured to determine whether the absolute value of a DC bias difference signal is greater than a predetermined value, and output a determination signal for deactivating the amplifier module when the absolute value of the DC bias difference signal is greater than the predetermined value. The DC bias difference signal is associated with the voltage difference between the first DC bias signal and the second DC bias signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: ACER INCORPORATEDInventors: Po-Jen Tu, Jia-Ren Chang, Kai-Meng Tzeng, Ming-Chun Yu
