Abstract
An apparatus of correcting an offset for a differential amplifier which compensates a direct current (DC) offset voltage in a differential analog signal amplifier using a resistive feedback structure to minimize a deviation and a method thereof are provided. The apparatus includes a differential amplifier that is configured to amplify a common DC voltage input via a first resistor and a second resistor with a predetermined amplification factor to output the amplified voltage. A controller is configured to compare voltages output from both output terminals of the differential amplifier to determine whether to generate an offset. In addition, the offset is corrected using a switching unit coupled in parallel to an input terminal of the differential amplifier in response to detecting a generated offset. The controller is also configured to adjust an asymmetric property of the input terminal of the differential amplifier to correct the generated offset.
