Abstract
A non-inverting amplifier includes an operational amplifier, an input resistor, and a feedback resistor. The operational amplifier amplifies and outputs a difference between an input voltage and a voltage of a control node. The input resistor is connected between a reference voltage port and the control node. The feedback resistor is connected to an output port of the operational amplifier and the control node. The non-inverting amplifier supplies a control current to the control node for controlling an offset voltage of the output port.
