Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 143 words
A differential amplifier for amplifying an analog input signal comprising: a. means for receiving said analog input signal, b. amplifying means normally connected to said receiving means for amplifying said analog input signal, c. means for disconnecting said amplifying means from receiving means at predetermined periods of time, d. a high gain ac coupled amplifier, means for connecting said high gain ac coupled amplifier to the output of said amplifying means a predetermined period of time after said amplifying means has been disconnected from receiving means for sensing the D.C. offset voltage from the output of said amplifying means, and e. a hold amplifier having a capacitor on its input connected to the output of said high gain ac coupled amplifier for applying a compensating signal to the inverting input of said amplifying means to cancel the offset voltage from said amplifying means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 143 words
A differential amplifier for amplifying an analog input signal comprising: a. means for receiving said analog input signal, b. amplifying means normally connected to said receiving means for amplifying said analog input signal, c. means for disconnecting said amplifying means from receiving means at predetermined periods of time, d. a high gain ac coupled amplifier, means for connecting said high gain ac coupled amplifier to the output of said amplifying means a predetermined period of time after said amplifying means has been disconnected from receiving means for sensing the D.C. offset voltage from the output of said amplifying means, and e. a hold amplifier having a capacitor on its input connected to the output of said high gain ac coupled amplifier for applying a compensating signal to the inverting input of said amplifying means to cancel the offset voltage from said amplifying means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
The invention claimed in claim 1 including a common mode rejection amplifier connected between said hold amplifier and said amplifier to provide common mode rejection.
