Opamp Offset voltage problem

Feb 03, 2007 1 Replies

Hi! I want to measure the offset voltage of an opamp. First, I configure the opamp in an unity gain buffer and measure the output. The offset voltage is 64.16uV. Then, I applied this voltage to the non- inverting input of the opamp. When I simulate it again, instead of getting 0V at the output, I get 464.29mV. Is the setup correct? Is the offset voltage of 64.16uV correct? Looks a bit small for an opamp.



Thanks. Amy

Are you saying that you do *not* want to measure a *real* op-amp but fiddle around with "simulators"??
