Q&A Deriving resistor values for a taper pad attenuator

Yeah, that looks like it's going to be messy. I agree with Olin: the problem starts with three variables and three conditions so, no matter how you look at it, you will end up with a system of...

Q&A DC offset correction loop (DC servo loop). What's its advantage, compared to a high-pass RC filter?

What are the advantages of such DC offset removal loop, compared to an RC high-pass filter? The primary advantage is that it keeps the front-end amplifier output centred in its DC operating re...

Q&A DC offset correction loop (DC servo loop). What's its advantage, compared to a high-pass RC filter?

In addition to what Andy said, the DC servo method doesn't add impedance to the signal. Note that in your bottom circuit, the signal with the DC offset removed has an impedance of 1 MΩ at DC. In ...

Q&A Why arc welding does not require high voltage to arc?
