Chopper Amplifier Offset

Input-referred residual DC offset of a chopper amplifier from its zero-input output offset and closed-loop voltage gain.

Description

Input-referred residual DC offset of a chopper amplifier from its zero-input output offset and closed-loop voltage gain.

Chopper Amplifier Offset: Input-referred residual DC offset of a chopper amplifier from its zero-input output offset and closed-loop voltage gain.

When to use Chopper Amplifier Offset

Use this electronics calculation for a first-pass component, converter, signal, motor, or sensor estimate when the stated operating conditions and units match the device data.

Output Offset Millivolts (mV)

How Chopper Amplifier Offset works

Input-referred residual DC offset of a chopper amplifier from its zero-input output offset and closed-loop voltage gain. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Input Offset Millivolts (mV)
The resulting input offset millivolts returned as a number.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Amplifier gain and rejection calculations are small-signal approximations unless the operating point is checked. Gain-bandwidth, slew rate, input and output range, stability, noise, offset, bias current, loading, and frequency-dependent CMRR can limit the result.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.
