Abstract
The present invention discloses a DC offset canceling circuit applied in a variable gain amplifier. The DC offset canceling circuit comprises a transconductance amplifier and at least one internal capacitor to function as a filter. The input of the transconductance amplifier is electrically connected to the output of the variable gain amplifier, and the output of the transconductance amplifier and the at least one internal capacitor are electrically connected to the input of the variable gain amplifier to form a feedback loop. To cooperate with the function of the DC offset cancelation, the input stage of the variable gain amplifier comprises an auxiliary differential pair.
