Abstract
An offset cancellation circuit corrects DC offset appearing at the input of a comparator circuit. The first input of a summing junction receives an input signal containing DC offset. The output of the summing junction drives the input of the comparator and a feedback amplifier, the latter of which returns to the second input of the summing junction. Any DC offset is processed through the feedback amplifier where it subtracts from the input signal for providing zero DC offset at the input of the comparator.
