AD8244Data SheetLOW NOISE, JFET INPUT BUFFERR The voltage noise of the AD8244 can be reduced by placing 1/4OAD8244 multiple buffers in parallel. For example, two buffers in parallel reduce the voltage noise by √2, or all four buffers placed in parallel act as a buffer with ½ the noise. The trade-offs to this method are increased bias current, current noise, and input R1/4O capacitance. Place a small resistor, such as 50 Ω, between the AD8244 outputs to avoid extra current flow due to the slight differences between each output. For less power sensitive applications, these VOUT 50 Ω resistors can be omitted to boost the available output current. RSR1/4OVAD8244INR1/4OAD8244 045 1689- 1 Figure 47.
