Abstract
A comparator converts an input analog RF signal to a digital signal and inputs the digital signal in a charge pump circuit. The charge pump circuit controls charging/discharging of an integration capacitor in response to the output level of the digital signal output from the comparator. The charging quantity of the integration capacitor is used as a reference voltage of an RF amplifier, and a center voltage level of the analog RF signal output from the RF amplifier is adjusted in response to an average dc level of the digital signal. Thus, it follows that a slice level of a signal reproducing circuit is properly controlled.
