B. Eight
C. Two
D. Ten

Answer: C

2. Calculate the input offset current from the circuit shown below:

A. +1.55mA
B. ±1.55mA
C. -1.55mA
D. None of the mentioned

Answer: A

The algebraic difference between the current into the inverting and non-inverting terminal is referred to as input offset current.

Iio = |IB1-IB2| =|3.2 – 4.75|=|-1.55|

=> Iio = +1.55mA.

 

3. What is the value of current drawn from power supply 741c op-amp?

A. Is = 1.5mA
B. Is = 3.2mA
C. Is = 4.0mA
D. Is = 2.8mA

Answer: A

Supply current is the current drawn by the op-amp from the power supply; this parameter is not given on most op-amp data. For 741c op-amp, the supply current Is=2.8mA response.

 

4. Which is a time-varying response?

A. Steady-state response
B. Transient response
C. Both Steady-state and transient response

B. Noise voltage = V3/Hz and Noise current = A2/Hz
C. Noise voltage = V2/Hz and Noise current = A3/Hz
D. Noise voltage = V3/Hz and Noise current = A3/Hz

Answer: A

As the electrical noise is random in nature, it is expressed as a root mean square value. The equivalent input noise voltage is expressed as square voltage (V2/Hz) and the equivalent input noise current as square noise current (A2/Hz).

 

6. The physical closeness of dual and quad package op-amp results in

A. Op-amp coupling
B. Amplifier to amplifier coupling
C. Channel coupling
D. Signal to noise coupling

Answer: B

When a signal is applied to the input of only one op-amp, some signal will appear at the output of another op-amp due to the physical closeness of op-amps in dual and quad packages, this causes the amplifier to amplifier coupling.

A. Channel separation
B. Gain bandwidth product
C. Long term input offset voltage stability

11. Find the expression for output offset voltage?

A. VooT = [RF/R1×Vio] + (RF×Io)
B. VooT = [1+(RF/R1)]×(Vio) + (RF×Io)
C. VooT = [1+(RF/R1)]/(Vio) + (RF×Io)
D. VooT = [RF/R1]×(Vio) + (RF/Io)

Answer: B

The output offset voltage is expressed as a function of input offset current and input offset voltage when is given as

VooT = [1+(RF/R1)]×(Vio) + (RF×Io).

 

12. Why it is necessary to calibrate all op-amps in the system periodically?

A. To maintain the current drift of a system
B. To maintain output offset voltage in op-amp
C. To maintain accuracy and linearity of a system
D. None of the mentioned

Answer: C

In practice, the output offset voltage in all op-amp circuits will change with time. Therefore, to maintain the desired accuracy and linearity of a system, it is necessary to calibrate all op-amps in that system periodically.

 

13. Determine the maximum possible change in output offset voltage after 3 months if the LH0041C op-amp is initially nulled and at room temperature, the voltage across the terminal, +Vcc & -Vee remains constant.

A. △VooT = 456.78mv
B. △VooT = 3.452mv
C. △VooT = 21.1mv
D. None of the mentioned

Answer: D

For LH0041C,

△Vio/△t = 5µV/week and △Iio /△t = 2nA/week.

Due to the time drift △t=12 weeks (3months). The maximum possible change in output offset voltage,

△VooT = [[1+(RF/R1)]×(△Vio/△t)×△t]+[RF×(△Iio/△t) ×△t]= [(1+(250kΩ/1kΩ))×5µV×12] + [250kΩ×2µA×12]

= 15.1mv+6mv

=> △VooT = 21.1mv.

 

14. How to minimize the drift in the input signal amplifier without affecting the performance of the circuit?

A. All of the mentioned Choosing the small value of external components
B. Enhancing the input signal amplifier
C. Reducing the gain of the op-amp
D. All of the mentioned

Answer: A

The amount of drift in the input signal depends on the relative values of external components. So, if relatively small values are selected for an external component then drift can be minimized.

 

15. An amplifier has a supply voltage of ±15v. Compute its peak to peak output swing

A. 36v
B. 30v
C. 26v
D. 49v

Answer: C

The peak to peak output swing depends on the value of the supply voltage ( which is +15v-(-15v) =30v ) and is always less than the value to maintain the safe operation of the op-amp.

 

16. Find out the incorrect statement regarding IC Data Sheets.

A. Power consumption of op-amp decrease with increasing ambient temperature
B. Output short circuit current of op-amp decreases with increasing temperature.
C. Common mode voltage range of op-amp increases with an increasing supply voltage value
D. Power consumption of op-amp decreases with increasing supply voltage

Answer: D

If the power consumption as a function of the supply voltage curve is drawn, it can be seen that the amount of dc power required to operate the op-amp under no-load conditions increases with an increase in supply voltage.
