Introduction:

Ideal operational amplifiers have zero output voltage when the differential input voltage
is zero. However, real operational amplifiers do not meet this ideal goal. A small DC voltage
must be applied to the input in order to drive the DC output voltage to zero. This small
differential input voltage is called the input offset voltage, Vos, and is a measurable parameter
on real op amps and can be found on a specification sheet.

Also, the DC current flowing into the input terminals of an ideal operational amplifier
is zero. However, the input differential stage of real op amps require some small input bias
current to flow into both the inverting and non-inverting input terminals, even at zero input
voltage, to establish the DC Q point of the input stage. The average of the two input currents
is called the input bias current, IB, and the difference of the two currents is called the input
offset current, Ios. Both IB and los are measurable quantities and can be found on a specification
sheet. It should be realized that both Vos and los are random quantities caused by slight
mismatches in the operational amplifier and can be positive, zero, or negative quantities. A
simplified model of a real op amp, which includes these input DC parameters is shown in
Figure 1.

Task:

In this assignment students are required to find the values of following with the help
of the above circuits and verify the answer with the data sheet given in Table 1.

a) Vos (Typical) and Vos (Max) Refer Figure 2

b) V0 at Full counter clock wise and at clock wise Refer Figure 3
c) Determine, IB typical = ?, IB max = ?, Ios typical = ?, Ios max = ? Refer
Figure 4
d) Determine V0 for the circuit of Figure 5 (a) and (b)
NOTE:
a) Students are advised to use laboratory components or Multisim software
for testing purpose.
b) Students can do their testing (lab) work by group maximum 3 members in
a group but the report must be individual. The group members are allowed
to use only the data collected from the lab. The content and all other
details in the report must be individual.
c) Presentation (power point) will be conducted after the submission week.
