ABSTRACT:
In an analog signal processing device, an output signal and a reference level are compared by a comparator, and a result of comparison is filtered by a low-pass filter. By doing so, an adaptive control signal is generated so as to correspond to a background signal component having a low frequency, included in an input signal, and is negatively fed back to a signal processing unit. With this arrangement, the background signal component is compensated by the adaptive control signal having a frequency band sufficiently separate from a frequency band of a target signal component to be processed, the component being included in the input signal. As a result, a DC level of the output signal is stabilized at the reference level. Therefore, the signal processing device of a capacitive coupling type incorporating an amplifier, an input capacitor, and a feedback capacitor is allowed to carry out an adaptive control operation for keeping a DC level of the output signal to a desired level, with respect to changes in the background signal component or a shift of the input signal from an input reference level (average value), without suspending a signal processing operation. As a result, a spare circuit for a refreshing operation for compensating an off-set voltage of the amplifier can be omitted.
