SBOS135D January 1984 – October 2026 OPA27 , OPA37
PRODUCTION DATA
Low-noise circuit design requires careful analysis of all noise sources. External noise sources can dominate in many cases, so consider the effect of source resistance on overall operational amplifier noise performance. At low source impedances, the lower voltage noise of a bipolar operational amplifier is superior, but at higher impedances, the high current noise of a bipolar amplifier becomes a serious liability. Above about 15 kΩ, the OPA111 low-noise FET operational amplifier is recommended for lower total noise than the OPA27, as shown in Figure 6-3.
