Abstract
A signal processor includes an operational amplifier performing an operation on first and second signals, and amplifying a signal resulting from the operation based on an amplification control signal to remove an offset voltage, a buffer buffering an output signal of the operational amplifier and outputting a result of the buffering as differential signals, an automatic gain amplifier automatic gain amplifying the differential signals output from the buffer and outputting an automatic gain amplified signal as a single ended signal, a level shifter level shifting a level of the single ended signal including the offset voltage and outputting a level shifted signal as level shifted differential signals, and an offset voltage compensation unit converting a difference between the level shifted differential signals to a digital signal, detecting the offset voltage based on the digital signal, and outputting the amplification control signal to compensate for the detected offset voltage.
