diodes, as shown in Figure 39. In most circuit

applications, the input protection circuitry has no

consequence. However, in low-gain or G = 1 circuits,

fast ramping input signals can forward bias these

diodes because the output of the amplifier cannot

respond rapidly enough to the input ramp. This effect

Characteristics. If the input signal is fast enough to

create this forward bias condition, the input signal

current must be limited to 10mA or less. If the input

signal current is not inherently limited, an input series

resistor can be used to limit the signal input current.

This input series resistor degrades the low noise

generated in the op amp, and noise from the

circuit is the root-sum-square combination of all noise

components.

The resistive portion of the source impedance

produces thermal noise proportional to the square

root of the resistance. This function is plotted in

Figure 40. The source impedance is usually fixed;
