8.1.1.3 Basic Noise Calculations
Designing low-noise op amp circuits requires careful consideration of a variety of possible noise contributors,
such as noise from the signal source, noise generated in the op amp, and noise from the feedback network
resistors. The total noise of the circuit is the root sum squared combination of all noise components.
The resistive portion of the source impedance produces thermal noise proportional to the square root of the
resistance. Figure 49 plots this function. The source impedance is usually fixed; consequently, select the op amp
and the feedback resistors to minimize the respective contributions to the total noise.
Figure 50 shows both inverting and noninverting op amp circuit configurations with gain. In circuit configurations
with gain, the feedback network resistors also contribute noise.
The current noise of the op amp reacts with the feedback resistors to create additional noise components.
Choose feedback resistor values that make these noise sources negligible. The equations for total noise are
shown for both configurations.
