2. A 741 type op-amp has a maximum input offset current of 200nA dc. What conclusion can be derived from this statement?

{ IB1 – Input bias current at inverting input terminal and IB2 – Input bias current at non-inverting input terminal}

A. IB1 may be larger than IB2 by 200nA
B. IB2 may be larger than IB1 by 200nA
C. Iio and IB2 may be equal to 200nA
D. All of the mentioned

Answer: D

In a 741 op-amp, Iio = 200nA dc, which means that the maximum difference between IB1 and IB2 can be as large as 200nA.

 

3. The maximum magnitude of the output offset voltage is

A. VOIio = RF*Iio
B. VOIio = RF*( IB1+IB2)
C. VOIio = RF*IB1
D. VOIio = RF*( IB1-IB2)

Answer: A

The output offset voltage due to the input offset current is given as VOIio = RF*Iio.

 

4. Find the output offset voltage of a 741 op-amp; If the gain of the non-inverting amplifier is 8.5 and the feedback resistor = 15kΩ? (IB=200nA for 741 op-amp)

A. 1µv
B. 4 µv
C. 3 µv
D. 2 µv

Answer.C

Gain, A=1+(RF/R1)

=> R1 = RF/(A-1) = 15kΩ/(8.5-1) = 2kΩ.

=> ROM =(R1* RF)/( R1+RF) = 1.76kΩ.

The output offset voltage, VOIB1= VOIB= RF*IB

=> VOIB1= 1.76kΩ*200nA*8.5 = 2.9×10-6 ≅ 3 µv

 

5. Find out the input offset current from the circuit

Find out the input offset current from the circuit

A. Iio = |IBA*IBC|
B. Iio = |IBA+ IBC|
C. Iio = |IBA/ IBC|
D. Iio = |IBA– IBC|

Answer: D

The input offset current is Iio = |IBA– IBC|.

 

6. Determine the maximum output offset voltage caused by input offset current

Determine the maximum output offset voltage caused by input offset current

A. 5.4mv
B. 7.3mv
C. 6.9mv
D. 8.1mv

Answer: A

For a 741 op-amp

Iio = 200nA(Maximum).

VOIio = RF*Iio

= 27kΩ*200nA =5.4mv.

 

7. Find the total output offset voltage of non-inverting op-amp?

A. VooT = {[1+(RF/R1)]*Vio} + RF*Iio
B. VooT = -[(RF/R1)*Vio] + RF*Iio
C. VooT = -[(RF/R1)*Vio] + Iio
D. None of the mentioned

Answer: B

The gain of the inverting amplifier

A=-(RF/R1).

Therefore, the total output offset voltage is given as

VooT = -[(RF/R1)*Vio] + RF*Iio.

 

8. Analyse the circuit and determine the value of total output offset voltage?

Analyse the circuit and determine the value of total output offset voltage?

The op-amp is the MC1536 with the following specifications:
Vio = 7.5mv, Iio = 5nA, IB =250nA.

A. 0.12v
B. 1.4v
C. 0.76v
D. 8.5v

Answer:c

The total output offset voltage due to input offset voltage,

VooT = -[(RF/R1)*Vio] + RF*Iio

VooT = [1+(47kΩ/470Ω)]*7.5mv+(47kΩ*50nA.

= 0.7598 ≅ 0.76v.

 

9. Which factor affects the input offset voltage, bias current, and input offset current in an op-amp

A. Change in temperature
B. Change in supply voltage
C. Change in time
D. All of the mentioned

Answer: D

Any change in the mentioned parameters affects the values of input offset voltage, bias current and input offset current from remaining constant.

 

10. Thermal voltage drift is defined as

A. △Vio/△T
B. △VF/△T
C. △Iio/△T
D. △IB/△T

Answer: A

The average rate of change of input offset voltage per unit change in temperature is called thermal voltage drift, i.e. △Vio/△T.
