Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9857431A1] The invention relates to an integrated circuit for converting an input signal (E) comprising a first direct component (GE) and an alternating component (WE) into an output signal (A) comprising a fixed second direct component (GA) and an alternating component (WA), wherein a resistor (11) which can be controlled by the current input signal (E) is regulated in such a way that the voltage drop in the resistor (11) remains constant and an output signal (A) with a fixed direct component (GA) can be measured.
