ABSTRACT:
Offsets in a chopper stabilized CMOS operational amplifier are nulled by adjusting the transconductance of the load transistors in the CMOS transistor pairs. This is accomplished by providing a small N channel transistor in parallel with each N channel load transistor of the CMOS pairs. A bias voltage is applied to the gate of one of the transistors and a voltage applied to the gate of the other N channel transistor. The voltage is developed by shorting the inputs to the operational amplifier and closing a feedback path around the input stage to null its offset. The nulling voltage taken at the gate of the other N channel transistor is capacitively stored and used during the subsequent sampling cycle.
