Exceeding this common mode range will cause the gain to drop to zero, The extremely low input bias currents (20pA typical) allow however no phase reversal will occur. high accuracy to be maintained with high impedance sources and feedback resistors.

The input bias currents are permanently trimmed at The LT6010 amplifier contributes negligible noise to the wafer testing to a low level. Do not try to balance the input system when driven by sensors (sources) with impedance resistances in each input lead; instead, keep the resistance between 20kΩ and 1MΩ. Throughout this range, total at either input as low as possible for maximum accuracy. input noise is dominated by the 4kTRS noise of the source.
