What does an auto-zeroing amplifier do?

  • A.Removes the direct component from its input
  • B.Nulls the common-mode voltage at its inputs
  • C.Measures and subtracts its own offset periodically
  • D.Adjusts its gain to keep the output constant

Answer: C

Auto-zeroing disconnects the input at intervals, measures the offset that remains, and stores a correction that is applied while the amplifier is in use. Gain control, input coupling and common-mode nulling are other functions. Because the measurement is repeated, the correction follows the drift rather than being fixed at one temperature - which is precisely the limitation of a one-off trim that this technique escapes.
