ABSTRACT:
A sign bit integrator and method for generating a signal to correct an offset in a signal processing system that can distort the output from the system. A charge pulse is generated when the sign of a input signal is sampled in order to provide an offset correction signal with a polarity opposite that of offsets in the system. The charge pulse is provided to a pair of transistors whose size ratio sets the magnitude of the charge pulse. The polarity of the charge pulse is set responsive to a sign bit in the input signal. An integrator capacitor provides the offset correction signal to the signal processing system. A third transistor may be switchably substituted for one of the pair of transistors to change the ratio of sizes and thus change the magnitude of the charge pulse to thereby change the speed with which the offset correction is made. The sign bit integrator and method may be used to correct distortion in a voice signal in a telephone system.
