Hi guys,
A PD(proportional plus derivative) cell was designed and fabricated, as shown in the following figure.
Ideally, we have Vo[n]=-((C1+C2)/C3)Vi[n]+(C1/C3)Vi[n-1], which is what we get in simulation. However, measurement result is Vo[n]=-((C1+C2)/C3)Vi[n]+(C1/C3)Vi[n-1]+Con. Con is a constant, about -250mV. This DC offset is not acceptable in our system.

I have no idea why this DC offset happen after fabrication, and how to minimize it. Do you have any idea about it? Thanks in advance.

You need to put resistance on both inv/non-inv terminal to cancel the offset.

we have used auto-zeroing in the circuit, so offset of opamp should be cancelled.
And I don't understand how resistance can cancel offset. could you elaborate it?
 

This happen due to unequal voltage difference on the i/p.

generally opams are made up of pair of bjts/fets hence there bias char are some time different, so that create a difference in o/p and results in offsets i.e false o/p voltage.
