Abstract
An offset calibration system of a control loop at least comprises a pre-amplifier circuit and a post-amplifier circuit. The pre-amplifier circuit generates a pre-output signal and then transmits the pre-output signal to the post-amplifier circuit to amplify. The offset calibration system comprises a comparator, an offset calibration module, and a determination circuit. The comparator compares the pre-output signal with a predetermined pre-reference signal to generate a pre-compared signal. The offset calibration module stores a predetermined and adjustable offset calibration value for adding to the pre-output signal. The determination circuit adjusts the offset calibration value based on the pre-compared signal, so the offset calibration value can be added to the pre-output signal dynamically to compensate and calibrate the offset of the pre-output signal caused by the pre-amplifier circuit to avoid the post-amplifier circuit amplifying the offset of the pre-output signal again.
