Abstract
An apparatus and method for generating a sensing signal from a generally periodic AC signal. The apparatus includes a first integrating circuit (125) for generating a first integrated signal by integrating the AC signal during a time period between positive transitions of the AC signal. The first integrating circuit (125) is reset by pulses from a pulse generator (100) at negative transitions of the AC signal. The apparatus further includes a second integrating circuit (135) for generating a second integrated signal by integrating the AC signal during the time period between positive transitions of the AC signal. The second integrating circuit (135) is reset by a further pulse generator at positive transitions of the AC signal. The sensing signal is generated by taking the difference in magnitude between the first and second integrated output signals.
