DC Offset Voltage in Amplifiers
DC offset voltage is a common imperfection in amplifiers that can have various effects on the output signal. In this case, the correct answer is option 'C', which states the existence of an output signal even when the differential signal is zero.
Explanation:
- Existence of output signal: DC offset voltage causes an output signal to be present even when there is no differential input signal applied to the amplifier.
- Zero input signal: When the differential signal is zero (meaning there is no voltage difference between the input terminals), the amplifier should ideally produce zero output. However, due to DC offset voltage, a non-zero output signal may still be present.
- Effect on amplifier performance: DC offset voltage can lead to inaccuracies in signal processing, distortion of the output signal, and overall degradation of amplifier performance.
- Calibration: To mitigate the effects of DC offset voltage, amplifiers may require calibration or adjustment to minimize the offset and ensure accurate signal amplification.
In conclusion, DC offset voltage in amplifiers can cause the presence of an output signal even when the differential input signal is zero, leading to performance issues that need to be addressed for proper signal amplification.
