    Abstract: An improved auto-zeroing feedback control circuit (FIG. 1) is disclosed to compensate for DC offset voltages in signal coding applications. The feedback control circuit for a signal limiter (120) includes a digital integrator (130) which oversamples the limited output (125). When the accumulated sample count overflows, an analog integrator (140) is enabled, and a small quantity of charge is delivered to the integrating capacitor. The analog integrator output signal (145) is then attenuated (150) and used to adjust the bias for the limiter (120). This improved auto-zeroing technique eliminates the requirement of a large external auto-zero capacitor, and permits the signal coder to be fully integrated on-chip.

    Abstract: A level detector detects an input signal lever (205). A rectifier (210) receives the input signal and provides a rectified signal (215). A prefilter (220) receives the rectified signal and attenuates high frequency components at frequencies near multiples of a decimation sample rate. The prefilter signal (225) is decimitated by a decimator (230) and low pass filtered by a low pass filter (240) having a passband below the input frequency of the input signal. The level detector can be provided to control a variable gain stage circuit which applies a gain to the input signal based on the level to form a dynamic range compressor or expander.
