JAJSF23B March 2018 – July 2018 INA1620
PRODUCTION DATA.
Figure 51 shows the total circuit noise for varying source impedances with the op amp in a unity-gain configuration (no feedback resistor network, and therefore no additional noise contributions).
The INA1620 is shown with total circuit noise calculated. The op amp contributes both a voltage noise component and a current noise component. The voltage noise is commonly modeled as a time-varying component of the offset voltage. The current noise is modeled as the time-varying component of the input bias current, and reacts with the source resistance to create a voltage component of noise. Therefore, the lowest noise op amp for a given application depends on the source impedance. For low source impedance, current noise is negligible, and voltage noise generally dominates. The low voltage and current noise of the INA1620 internal op amps make the device an excellent choice for use in applications where the source impedance is less than 10 kΩ as shown in Figure 51.
