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)
- Required number input.
- Closed Loop Gain
- Required number input.
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.
