The zero offset voltage in anti-aliasing Low-Pass Filters (LPF) included in the Analog-to- Digital Conversion (ADC) input has a significant effect on its effective bit rate. The paper discusses methods for minimizing the systematic component of zero offset voltage (VOS) of Operational Amplifiers (Op-Amp) in the structure of the LPF due to the degradation of the current gain of the base ( ) of bipolar transistors for an extremely common subclass of Op-Amp with one high-impedance node. Methods for matching a high-impedance Op-Amp node and a buffer amplifier with the help of Special Correcting Multipolars (SCM) of p-(SCMp ) and n-types (SCMn ) are proposed. Methods of description and formation of the given coefficients of weak current asymmetry of typical Op-Amp functional units [Current Mirrors (CM), Input Differential Stage (IDS), Buffer Amplifiers (BA), Reference Current Sources (SRC), etc.] are presented. The considered circuit technique is also recommended for Op-Amp based on wide-band Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT)-Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) technological processes that implement field-effect (JFET) and Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT) on a single chip, especially when the influence of bipolar transistors on VOS needs to be compensated. As an example, the results of computer simulation of GaAs Op-Amp with small VOS performed on JFET field and p-n-p bipolar transistors are given.
