validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

8.1.1 Achieving Lower Noise With Filtering

The low input voltage noise of the LMP202x, and no 1/f noise make these suitable for many applications with

noise sensitive designs. Simple filtering can be done on the LMP202x to remove high frequency noise. Figure 37

shows a simple circuit that achieves this.

Figure 37. Noise Reducing Filter for Lower Gains

In order to achieve lower noise floors for even more noise stringent applications, a simple filter can be added to

the op amp’s output after the amplification stage. Figure 38 shows the schematic of a simple circuit which

achieves this objective. Low noise amplifiers such as the LMV771 can be used to create a single pole low pass

filter on the output of the LMP202x. The noise performance of the filtering amplifier, LMV771 in this circuit, will

not be dominant as the input signal on LMP202x has already been significantly gained up and as a result the

effect of the input voltage noise of the LMV771 is effectively not noticeable.
