What is meant by the term “op-amp input offset voltage”?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. The differential input voltage needed to bring the open loop output voltage to zero
Input offset voltage is the small differential voltage that must be applied between the inputs to make the open-loop output read zero. It comes from slight imbalances inside the op-amp.
Tip: Offset: the input nudge for zero output.
