Abstract
An apparatus such as an electronic circuit includes an input operable to receive an input signal; a dynamic common mode adjustor operable to: i) derive a differential signal from the received input signal, and ii) control an offset of the differential signal as a function of the received input signal to produce an offset differential signal; and an output operable to output the offset differential signal. In one arrangement, the offset differential signal outputted from the output includes a first signal and a second signal; a difference between the second signal and the first signal proportionally varies with respect to the received input signal.
Claims33
An apparatus comprising:
- an input operable to receive an input signal;
- a signal generator operable to derive an output signal from the received input signal, an offset of the output signal varied as a function of a magnitude of the input signal;
- and
- an output operable to output the offset output signal.
A method comprising:
- receiving an input signal;
- deriving an output signal from the received input signal;
- varying an offset of the output signal as a function of the received input signal;
- and
- outputting the offset output signal.
Computer-readable storage hardware having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when carried out by computer processor hardware, cause the computer processor hardware to:
- receive an input signal;
- derive an output signal from the received input signal;
- vary an offset of the output signal as a function of the received input signal;
- and
- output the offset output signal.
