Q. 5. A first order active non-inverting high pass filter with a pass band gain of two and a cut-
off frequency of 1 kHz needs to be designed. A 10 nF capacitor is given to you. Design the
resistors should be used. Also, plot the expected frequency response of the filter.

Ans: Resistance (R) = 15.92 kΩ, R1 = R2 = high value (may, around ten of kΩs) to
reduce current consumption. High pass type frequency response can be plotted easily.

resistor. The opamp used has an input offset voltage (V OS) of 10 mV and input bias current (IB) of 300
nA and input offset current (IOS) of 50 nA.
(a) Find the maximum error in output voltage (note that this error voltage at output is otherwise known
as output offset voltage) due to IB and VOS.

maximum output offset voltage when such a resistor is included in the circuit.
