Abstract
Abstract In a synchronizing detector circuit which has at least two differential transistors, a pair of constant current transistors are connected to the differential transistors, and an output transistor is connected to the junctures between the differential and constant current transistors and to a filter circuit for detection. A synchronizing detector circuit comprises a compensating circuit incorporated between the junctures and the filter circuit and includes a constant current absorbing circuit, so as to prevent an offset output voltage of the filter circuit due to noise.
