I am confused about several aspects pertaining to op-amp DC biasing and its effects on ground/common mode limits. The more I read about this, the more muddled up I get. I will try to frame my queries as coherently as possible and would really…

I've been screwing around with IBIS models lately and came across something that left me scratching my head. First, the generic model structure for the semiconductor portions of an IBIS I/O looks like the following (taken from this article): When…

I'm studying Chapter 8.6 of Razavi's Analog IC Design textbook (Bode's Analysis of Feedback Circuits). Bode's method provides a way of simplifying feedback analysis by replacing one dependent source (for example a MOSFET) with an independent source…

I tried following two configurations for measuring op-amp offset, which should give the same results by theoretical definition of offset where it is modelled as a voltage source at one of the input terminals. However, I am getting vastly different…
