Patent attributes
The signal detecting circuit has a first amplifier which amplifies the supplied signals and outputs the amplified signals from first and second output terminals; a switch unit which supplies the signals to the first amplifier such that the polarity thereof is reversed between the first and second periods; a first capacitor, one end of which is connected to the first output terminal; a second capacitor, one end of which is connected to the second output terminal; a first switch, one end of which is connected to the other end of the second capacitor; a second amplifier having an inverting input terminal connected to the other end of the first capacitor, a non-inverting input terminal connected to the other end of the first switch, and an output terminal; a second switch which is connected to between the output terminal and the inverting input terminal, a third switch, one end of which is connected to the other end of the second capacitor; a fourth switch, one end of which is connected to the other end of the non-inverting input terminal; a threshold voltage source which is connected to between the other end of the third switch and the other end of the fourth switch; and a reference voltage source which is connected to either one of the other end of the third switch and the other end of the fourth switch. In the first period, the first switch is off, and the second to fourth switches are on; in the second period, the first switch is on, and the second to fourth switches are off.
