Abstract
A novel technique for the continuous-time removal of the input offset voltage in operational amplifiers is presented. This scheme converts a conventional op-amp into a similar differential-in/differential-out op-amp with zero differential input offset voltage. The nonzero common-mode input offset voltage can be isolated using a sampled-data time-averaging technique and minimised by negative feedback.
