28 / 32 page ADA4666-2 Data Sheet Rev. 0 | Page 28 of 32 NOISE CONSIDERATIONS WITH HIGH IMPEDANCE SOURCES Current noise from input terminals can become a dominant contributor to the total circuit noise when an amplifier is driven with a high impedance source. Unlike bipolar amplifiers, CMOS amplifiers like the ADA4666-2 do not have an intrinsic shot noise source at the input terminals. The small amount of shot noise present is produced by the reverse saturation current in the ESD protection diodes. This current noise is typically on the order of 1 fA/√Hz to 10 fA/√Hz. Therefore, to measure current noise in this range, a large source impedance of greater than 10 GΩ is required. For the ADA4666-2, the more relevant discussion centers around an effect referred to as blowback noise. The blowback effect comes from noise in the tail current source of the amplifier, which is capacitively coupled to the amplifier inputs through the gate-to-source capacitance (CGS) of the input transistors. This blowback noise is multiplied by the source impedance and appears as voltage noise at the input terminal. A 10× increase in the source impedance results in a 10× increase in the voltage noise due to blowback. The blowback noise spectrum has a high-pass response at low frequencies due to CGS coupling. At high frequencies, the spectrum tends to roll off with two poles: an internal pole due to parasitic capacitances of the tail current source and an external pole due to parasitic capacitances on the PCB. Figure 89 shows the voltage noise density of the ADA4666-2 with source impedances of 1 MΩ and 10 MΩ. At low frequencies (<1 Hz to 10 Hz), the amplifier 1/f voltage noise dominates the spectrum. At moderate frequencies, the spectrum flattens due to the thermal noise of the source resistors. As the frequency increases, blowback noise dominates and causes the voltage noise spectrum to increase. The noise spectrum continues to increase until it reaches either the internal or external pole frequency. After these poles, the spectrum starts to decrease. Figure 89. Voltage Noise Density vs. Frequency (with Input Series Resistor, RS) Figure 90. Current Noise Density vs. Frequency Figure 90 shows the current noise density of the ADA4666-2 with source impedances of 1 MΩ and 10 MΩ. This current noise is extracted only from the voltage noise density curves in the frequency band where blowback noise is the dominant contributor. At low frequencies, the noise measurement is dominated by resistor thermal noise and amplifier 1/f noise. At high frequencies, parasitic capacitances dominate the source impedance. The uncertainty of this scale factor prevents an accurate current noise measurement for the entire frequency range. Blowback noise is present in all amplifiers. The magnitude of the effect depends on the size of the input transistors and the construction of the biasing circuitry. CMOS amplifiers typically have more blowback noise than JFET amplifiers due to noisier MOS transistor biasing. On the other hand, bipolar amplifiers typically do not exhibit blowback noise because the large base current shot noise masks any blowback noise present. 0.1 1 10 0.01 0.1 1 10 100 1k 10k 100k FREQUENCY (Hz) RS = 10MΩ RS = 1MΩ 0.01 0.1 1 0.01 0.1 1 10 100 1k 10k 100k FREQUENCY (Hz) RS = 1MΩ RS = 10MΩ NOISE MEASUREMENT LIMITATION NOISE BANDWIDTH LIMITATION |
