OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER PARAMETERS

Offset Voltage, (VIO)

 The amplifiers output will be zero when the voltage difference between the inverting and the
non-inverting inputs is zero, the same or when both inputs are grounded. Real op-amps have
some amount of output offset voltage.

output offset voltage.


 Output offset voltage of an op-amp is the dc voltage between two output terminals. It is the
voltage that must be applied to null or zero the output when the input terminals are
grounded. Real op-amps have some amount of output offset voltage. Offset voltage can be
modelled as an internal dc source connected to the input of the op amp.

Input offset voltage.

 The voltage that must be applied between the input terminals of the amplifier to bring its
output voltage to zero volts is called the input offset voltage.

Input offset current (IIO)

 Input offset current refers to the difference between the currents into the inverting and non-
inverting terminals of an operational amplifier.
 Iio=IB1-IB2

Input bias current in op-amps:


 It is the current drawn by the input terminals.
 It is a leakage current that sources or sinks at both input terminals.
 Depending on the type of input transistor, the bias current can flow in or out of the input
terminals.
 Real-life op amps have input bias currents, which can create offset errors at the output.
 The direction of the bias currents depends on the type of transistors.

CMRR:
 The measure of an amplifier’s ability to reject noise is the CMRR.
 The ratio of the differential voltage gain (Av(d)) to the common-mode gain (Acm). This ratio is
the CMRR.

 The CMRR is often expressed in decibels (dB) as


Power supply rejection ratio

 Power supply rejection ratio (PSRR), also supply-voltage rejection ratio (kSVR; SVR), is a
term widely used to describe the capability of an electronic circuit to suppress any power supply
variations to its output signal.

Thermal Drift
 Thermal drift in operational amplifiers (op-amps) refers to the change in characteristics of the
op-amp with variations in temperature, Changes in supply voltage VCC and Vee and Time.

Slew Rate
 Slew rate is the maximum rate of change of output voltage that an op-amp can achieve. It
represents how quickly the op-amp can respond to changes in the input signal.
 It is typically measured in volts per microsecond (V/µs).
 The slew rate formula is (S) = ΔVout/Δt. The slew rate units are V/μs or Volts per second.
Advantages of Buffer Amplifiers

 Impedance Matching: Buffer amplifiers act as an impedance buffer, ensuring proper


matching between input and output circuits.
 Signal Isolation: They provide isolation between input and output, preventing
interference or loading effects.
 Signal Amplification: Although buffer amplifiers have unity gain, they are often used
in conjunction with other amplifiers in a cascaded setup.
 Maintaining Signal Integrity: Buffer amplifiers help maintain the original waveform
and maximize power transfer.
