INPUT SIGNAL LEVEL DETECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

A method and an input signal level detection apparatus that correctly detect a level of an input signal while consuming low power apparatus including: a full-wave rectifier outputting a full-wave rectified waveform by performing a full-wave rectification on a first signal corresponding to an input signal, and on a second signal having a phase difference of 180 degrees from the first signal; a common voltage detector detecting a common voltage of the first signal and the second signal; and a level detection unit detecting a level of the input signal, based on a subtraction result obtained by subtracting the common voltage from the full-wave rectified waveform.
