Abstract
A feedback circuit for restoration of DC in electrical signals is presented. A sample pulse representing a DC portion of an electrical signal is generated. The sample pulse triggers a sample and hold circuit to acquire the correct offset voltage in the electrical signal during this DC portion. The offset voltage feeds back through a summing node to the electrical signal thereby restoring the video signal to the desired DC voltage level with respect to ground.
Claims14
A feedback circuit for compensating for DC offset in an electrical signal comprising:
- a detection circuit for detecting a first DC portion of said electrical signal a sampling circuit configured to sample said first DC portion of said electrical signal to obtain a DC offset value;
- a compensation circuit for applying an inverse of said DC offset value to said electrical signal.
A method for compensating for DC offset in an electrical signal comprising:
- detecting a first DC portion of said electrical signal;
- sampling the first DC portion of said electrical signal to obtain a DC offset value;
- subtracting said DC offset value from said electrical signal.
