In terms of the measured output peak-to-peak noise, the

following relationship holds between output noise voltage, e

n

p-p, for different closed-loop gain, A

Bandwidth is BW:

It should be kept in mind that in order to minimize the output

noise voltage for a given closed-loop gain setting, one could

minimize the overall bandwidth. As can be seen from Equa-

tion 1 above, the output noise has a square-root relationship

to the Bandwidth.

In the case of the inverting configuration, it is also possible to

increase the input impedance of the overall amplifier, by

raising the value of R1, without having to increase the feed-

back resistor, R2, to impractical values, by utilizing a "Tee"

network as feedback. See the LMC6442 data sheet (Appli-

cation Notes section) for more details on this.
