[help] dc offset cancellation techniques (Read 6575 times)

trashbox Community Member Offline Posts: 66	[help] dc offset cancellation techniques Dec 08^th, 2009, 2:14am Hi all, As attachment, the class-AB driver output is audio signal (20~20KHz) and has 1~10mV DC offset. Is there any method or close-loop DC offset cancellation circuit to eliminated it(spec. require the dc offset <2mV)? Can the so-called servo circuit solve this problem in this case? Thanks in advance. Regards

I'm not sure why you are seeing such offset in simulation - are you sure it isn't a finite gain issue? At any rate, if you are using a process 0.5u or smaller you should easily be able to get the offset down by using larger devices. You probably want low 1/f anyway. Chopping might also work well since the input frequency is low, and the ear is a great filter above 20kHz
