Abstract:
Apparatus and methods remove a voltage offset from an electrical signal, specifically a biomedical signal. A signal is received at a first operational amplifier and is amplified by a gain. An amplitude of the signal is monitored, by a first pair of diode stages coupled to an output of the first operational amplifier, for the voltage offset. The amplitude of the signal is then attenuated by the first pair of diode stages and a plurality of timing banks. The attenuating includes limiting charging, by the first pair of diode stages, of the plurality of timing banks and setting a time constant based on the charging. The attenuating removes the voltage offset persisting at a threshold for a duration of at least the time constant. Saturation of the signal is limited to a saturation recovery time while the saturated signal is gradually pulled into monitoring range over the saturation recovery time.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 15 . further comprising:\n amplifying, by the operational amplifier, the electrical biomedical signal by a gain; and\n wherein the attenuating further comprises: \n limiting charging, by the first pair of diode stages, of a plurality of timing banks from the biomedical signal; \n producing, by the plurality of timing banks, a differential signal; \n charging of a resistor-capacitor network of the plurality of timing banks; \n setting, by the plurality of timing banks, the duration of the time period based on the charging of the resistor-capacitor network; and \n attenuating the amplitude of the differential signal to remove the voltage offset persisting at the activation threshold for the duration of the time constant period
