ABSTRACT:
A quick recovery AC coupling circuit has a coupling capacitor stage that generates an output DC-biased AC signal by capacitively coupling an input DC-biased AC signal generated by a source stage. The output DC-biased AC signal is biased by a biasing stage. The quick recovery AC coupling circuit utilizes an emitter follower which is biased at its emitter by an active device in both the source stage and the biasing stage to maintain the bias voltage across the coupling capacitor stage when the quick recovery AC coupling circuit is powered off and when a high-input impedance device is connected to receive the output DC-biased AC signal.
