(a) Equation 6.69 gives the random input off-set voltage of the op amp in Fig. 6.16. Explain the polarity of each term in (6.69) by assuming that the matching is perfect except for the term under consideration. Keep in mind that the overdrive is negative for p-channel transistors. Therefore, (6.69) predicts that the offset stemming from W3>W4is negative.

(b) Repeat (a) for an op amp that uses an n-channel differential pair and a p-channel current mirror load. Equation 6.69 still applies in this case.
