Abstract
Describes the application of a transistor curve tracer to measure operational amplifier characteristics, test, circuits and results are shown. Open loop gain, input offset, common mode rejection, power supply rejection, supply rejection, supply current/supply voltage, and noise measurement and curves are described.
