COMMENTS ON NOISE
The OP27 is a very low noise, monolithic op amp. The out-
standing input voltage noise characteristics of the OP27
are achieved mainly by operating the input stage at a high
quiescent current. The input bias and offset currents, which
would normally increase, are held to reasonable values by the
input bias current cancellation circuit. The OP27A/E has I
and I
is particularly important when the input has a high source
resistance. In addition, many audio amplifier designers prefer
to use direct coupling. The high I
designs have made direct coupling difficult, if not impossible,
to use.
Voltage noise is inversely proportional to the square root of bias
current, but current noise is proportional to the square root of
bias current. The noise advantage of the OP27 disappears when
high source resistors are used. Figure 38, Figure 39, Figure 40
compare the observed total noise of the OP27 with the noise
performance of other devices in different circuit applications.
Figure 38 shows noise vs. source resistance at 1000 Hz. The
same plot applies to wideband noise. To use this plot, multiply
the vertical scale by the square root of the bandwidth.

With R
resistor noise rather than current or voltage noise. lt is only
beyond R
argument can be made that current noise is not important for
applications with low-to-moderate source resistances. The
crossover between the OP27 and OP07 noise occurs in the 15 kΩ
to 40 kΩ region.

Figure 39 shows the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz p-p noise. Here the picture
is less favorable; resistor noise is negligible and current noise
becomes important because it is inversely proportional to the
square root of frequency. The crossover with the

unbalanced source resistors are used (at 3 kΩ the I
error also can be 3× the V
For low frequency applications, the
OP27/OP37
error is important.
Figure 40 illustrates the 10 Hz noise. As expected, the results are
between the previous two figures.
