APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LTC6404-1
Noise Considerations
The LTC6404-1’s input referred voltage noise is on the
order of 1.5nV/√Hz. Its input referred current noise is on
the order of 3pA/√Hz. In addition to the noise generated
by the amplifi er, the surrounding feedback resistors also
contribute noise. A noise model is shown in Figure 9.
The output noise generated by both the amplifi er and the
feedback components is governed by the equation:
A plot of this equation, and a plot of the noise generated
by the feedback components for the LTC6404-1 is shown
in Figure 10.

The LTC6404-1’s input referred voltage noise contributes
the equivalent noise of a 140Ω resistor. When the feedback
network is comprised of resistors whose values are less
than this, the LTC6404-1’s output noise is voltage noise
dominant (See Figure 10.):
Feedback networks consisting of resistors with values
greater than about 200Ω will result in output noise which
is resistor noise and amplifi er current noise dominant.
Lower resistor values (<100Ω) always result in lower noise
at the penalty of increased distortion due to increased
loading of the feedback network on the output. Higher
