PRODUCTION DATA.
The input offset voltage of operational amplifiers (op amps) arises from unavoidable mismatches in the differential input stage of the op-amp circuit caused by mismatched transistor pairs, collector currents, current-gain betas (β), collector or emitter resistors and so forth. The input offset pins allow the designer to adjust for mismatches caused by external circuitry. See Application and Implementation for more details on design techniques.
