A high-pass filter, particularly for cancelling out the offset in a chain of amplifiers

摘要

The high-pass filter described comprises at least one circuit unit constituted by a first branch (A) and a second branch (B) both connected to an input (IN) of the filter on one side and, on the other side, to an adder (OP) the output of which is the output (OUT) of the filter. The first branch (A) comprises means (Rff) for transferring an input signal substantially without modifying its frequency content, and the second branch (B) comprises a low-pass filter (Rsc, C'fil). The whole is of dimensions such that the components of the input signal with frequencies below the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter are substantially cancelled out at the output of the adder. The filter is suitable for being produced within a particularly small area in an integrated circuit. <IMAGE>
