2.22 Consider an inverting amplifier with a nominal gain of 1000 constructed from an op amp with an input offset voltage of 3 mV and with output saturation levels of ±10 V. (a) What is (approximately) the peak sine-wave input signal that can be applied without output clipping? (b) If the effect of VOS is nulled at room temperature (25°C), how large an input can one now apply if: (i) the circuit is to operate at a constant temperature? (ii) the circuit is to operate at a temperature in the range 0°C to 75°C and the temperature coefficient of VOS is 10 µV/°C?
(a) 7 mV; (b) 10 mV, 9.5 mV
