Abstract

Described are a circuit and system to provide an output signal in response to composite input signal comprising an AC signal component and a DC signal component. An amplifier provides an amplified voltage signal in response to a voltage representative of the composite signal. A filter may provide a filtered voltage signal having a magnitude that is representative of a magnitude of the DC signal component in response to the amplified voltage signal. A DC signal removal circuit may substantially remove at least a portion of the DC signal component from an input terminal in response filtered voltage signal.
