Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 12:
13. The circuit of claim 10, wherein:
the first preamplifier is activated;
the storage circuit is configured to store M+L output codes corresponding to M+L input codes processed through the first preamplifier, the first preamplifier toggles at Mth input code, and M and L are integers;
the first preamplifier is inactivated and the second preamplifier is activated;
the input code is changed to M−L+1;
the storage circuit is configured to store output codes corresponding to each input code from (M−L+1)th input code processed through the second preamplifier;
a discontinuity parameter is estimated from the output codes generated through the first preamplifier from Mth input code to Lth input code and the output codes generated through the second preamplifier from Lth input code to the Mth input code; and
the discontinuity parameter is added to output codes generated through the second and successive preamplifiers, when the discontinuity parameter is greater than a first threshold.
