OPERATING CONDITIONS
This board works most effectively at room temperature (near +25°C). Measurements 
at other temperatures should be done in an oven where the air velocity is minimal.
The power supply (V
DD
) should be between 1.8V and 5.5V.
The common mode voltage (V
CM
) needs to be between 0.3V and V
DD
– 0.3V for proper 
operation of this demo board.

CALCULATING THE DUT’S INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE
The DUT’s total input offset voltage (V
OST
) can be calculated from a measurement as 
EQUATION 2-1:

CONVERTING INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE TO OTHER PARAMETERS
2.6.1
Theory
Changing the bias voltages changes the input offset voltage. Microchip’s application 
note AN1177 discusses in detail how these changes in V
OS
 are related to specifications 
found in our data sheets. The following list summarizes the parameters that contribute 
to V

:
• Specified Input Offset Voltage:
- V
OS
 = Input offset at the specified bias point
• DC Common Mode Rejection Ratio:

Note:
The data sheet Input Offset Voltage (V
OS
) specification applies to one bias 
point and temperature only. The total input offset voltage (V
OST
) includes 
V
OS
 and other changes in input offset as bias voltages and temperature 
change.
