As the previous equations show, to keep noise at a minimum, small value resistors should be used. As the
closed-loop gain is increased (by reducing R_G), the input noise is reduced considerably because of the parallel
resistance term. This leads to the general conclusion that the most dominant noise sources are the source
resistor (R_S) and the internal amplifier noise voltage (e_n). Because noise is summed in a root-mean-squares
method, noise sources smaller than 25% of the largest noise source can be effectively ignored. This can greatly
simplify the formula and make noise calculations much easier to calculate.
