The MCP651 Input Offset Evaluation Board is intended to provide a simple means to measure the MCP651 Input Offset Evaluation Board op amp’s input offset voltage under a variety of operating conditions. The measured input offset voltage (VOST) includes the input offset voltage specified in the data sheet (VOS) plus changes due to: power supply voltage (PSRR), common mode voltage (CMRR), output voltage (AOL), input offset voltage drift over temperature (ΔVOS/ΔTA) and 1/f noise.
The MCP651 Input Offset Evaluation 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.
Test Points for inputs (bias the DUT at any desired point), outputs (to measure VOS and the DUT's supply current) and others (power supplies, setting the MCP651's VCAL voltage, etc.)
Potentiometer to set MCP651's VCAL voltage
Push button switch to initiate a calibration sequence in the MCP651
DIP switch to select either high or low gain for the measured offset (VOS)
DUT footprints for either SOIC-8 or PDIP-8 parts
