Abstract:
A high-precision and high-performance level shift circuit, which is not adversely influenced by an offset error owned by an operational amplifier. Two sets of resistors (4o) and (4p) having the same resistance values, which are connected between differential output terminals and an operational amplifier (4r) for performing a level shift control are provided. A feedback operation is carried out in such a manner that an average voltage of each of differential outputs (4i) and (4m) is continuously made coincident with a DC reference potential (4q) irrespective of an offset error of an output-purpose operational amplifier, and a level shift function having a small error is realized. Two resistors (4h and 4l) are series-connected between a differential output of a digital/analog converter (4a) and a level shift circuit to output a voltage outside an output dynamic range of the digital/analog converter (4a).

Abstract:
When an input signal to be amplified is very small and a large blocking signal having a high frequency is included in an input, it is necessary for a filter for mobile communication for removing thereof that a common-mode signal rejection ratio is large. Further, even in the case of an amplifier having a high gain, it is preferable that the common-mode rejection ratio is large in order to avoid saturation of the amplifier by noise. A common-mode rejecting characteristic is added to an input stage by making transconductance circuits of an input of an integrating circuit proposed by Nauta differential circuits and connecting thereof in cross connection. Thereby, a filter as well as an amplifier improving the common-mode rejection ratio of a total, are realized by being applied to a CMOS process or a BiCMOS process.

Differential amplifier apparatus comprises a summing and inverting network for developing an output signal of which the magnitude is proportional to the common mode component of an input signal received at first and second input terminals of the apparatus and of which the polarity is opposite the polarity of the common mode component. A summing network is connected to the first and second input terminals and to the output of the summing and inverting network and has first and second intermediate nodes. A first differential amplifier has a non-inverting input connected to a first intermediate node of the summing network, and a second differential amplifier has a non-inverting input connected to the second intermediate node of the summing network. A bridging resistor is connected between the inverting inputs of the first and second differential amplifiers.

The disclosure relates to an alternating current (AC) coupling circuit including first and second capacitors having first and second input terminals configured to receive an input differential signal and generate an output differential signal at first and second output terminals of the first and second capacitors. The AC coupling circuit further includes a baseline wander correction circuit configured to make the output differential signal resistant to baseline wander due to the input differential signal including one or more time intervals of unbalanced data. The baseline wander correction circuit includes a differential difference amplifier (DDA) having a first differential input configured to receive the input differential signal, a differential output configured to generate a compensation differential signal, and a second differential input configured to receive the compensation differential signal. The compensation differential signal is applied to the output terminals of the first and second capacitors via a pair of resistors, respectively.

Abstract:
A high-precision and high-performance level shift circuit is provided, which is not adversely influenced by an offset error owned by an operational amplifier, and an output dynamic range of a digital/analog converter of a signal source. Since two sets of resistors 4o and 4p having the same resistance values to each other, which are connected between differential output terminals, and also, an operational amplifier 4r for performing a level shift control are provided, a feedback operation is carried out in such a manner that an average voltage of each of differential outputs 4i and 4m is continuously made coincident with a DC reference potential 4q irrespective of an offset error of an output-purpose operational amplifier, and a level shift function having a small error is realized. Also, since a resistor 4h and another resistor 4l are series-connected between a differential output of a digital/analog converter 4a and a level shift circuit, such a voltage can be outputted outside an output dynamic range of the digital/analog converter 4a.

To provide configuration of a signal amplifier and an optical signal receiver using the same, enabling to solve a problem of waveform deterioration being produced by external noise, etc. in the signal amplifier of the optical signal receiver. The optical signal receiver includes a first master-slave level detector for detecting a DC level of a normal phase signal, and a second master-slave level detector for detecting a DC level of an inverse phase signal. By adding alternated signal components respectively, a differential signal transmission is enabled. Accordingly, using two master-slave level detector having mutually symmetric configurations and thus enabling differential transmission, there can be obtained a signal amplifier which can cope with various transient responses produced at the top of a burst cell and is sufficiently protected against the disturbance produced by external noises.
