APPLICATIONS
UNITY-GAIN OPERATION
The ADA4899-1 schematic for unity-gain configuration is
nearly a textbook example (see
Figure 46). The only exception is
the small 24.9 Ω series resistor at the noninverting input. The
series resistor is only required in unity-gain configurations;
higher gains negate the need for the resistor. In
Table 4, it can be
seen that the overall noise contribution of the amplifier and the
24.9 Ω resistor is equivalent to the noise of a single 87 Ω resistor.
Figure 47 shows the small signal frequency response for the
unity-gain amplifier shown in
Figure 46.

RECOMMENDED VALUES FOR VARIOUS GAINS
Table 4 provides a handy reference for determining various
gains and associated performance. For noise gains greater than
one, the Series Resistor R
S
is not required. Resistors R
F
and R
G
are kept low to minimize their contribution to the overall noise
performance of the amplifier.
