Abstract

Abstract A gate circuit is configured to output a received signal via a buffer amplifier, enter the output in a storage capacitor via a first switching circuit normally taking its off-position, compare the signal levels at both ends of the switching circuit and feed back the comparison result to an input terminal via a second switching circuit normally taking its on-position, and configured so that when noise components in the received signal are detected, a control signal is produced to change the first switching circuit to its on-position and the second switching circuit to its off-position.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 143 words
A gate circuit comprising: a buffer amplifier means connected between an input terminal and an output terminal; a noise detecting means for detecting noise components in an input signal applied to said input terminal and producing a control signal; a first switching means having one end connected to said output terminal and normally taking its on-position but changed to its off-position by said control signal from the noise detecting means; a signal holding means connected to the other end of said first switching means; a level comparator means for detecting a difference between signal levels at both ends of said first switching means; and a second switching means having one end connected to said input terminal and the other end connected to the output of said level comparator means and normally taking its off-position but changed to its on-position by said control signal.
