2. If the input bias current of an op-amp used as the output summer in a 10 bit DAC, is to be no more
than the equivalent of 1/4 LSB, what is the maximum current required to flow in Rf for an op-amp
whose bias current is a great as .5 µA? See circuit shown below.

6. Sketch the log magnitude curve for the following transfer function. =
Vi s + ωc
where ωc = 20,000 rad /s

Design a circuit which realizes this transfer functon.

7. Design a circuit which sums two signals and multiplies the result by 3.
Ensure that your circuit has a minimum input resistance of 100 kΩ and uses as few components as
possible.

rms noise. Determine the required Ad and CMRR (dB)
10. Determine the output amplifier error as a percentage of VFS (εamp%FS) for an IA operating under the
following conditions:
CMRR = 80 dB, Ad = 1000, Vos = .5 mV , VCM = 1 V rms,
Ios = 1 nA, Rs = 1 kΩ, constant temperature, VFS = 10 V.
