(298 K) equals:

(5)

Now the noise of the resistors can be calculated, yielding:

(6)

The total noise at the input of the op amp is:

(7)

For the first example, this input noise will, multiplied with the noise gain, give a total output noise of:

(8)

resistance equals:

(9)

The resistor noise for the second example is:

(10)

The total noise at the input of the op amp is:

(11)

For the second example the input noise will, multiplied with the noise gain, give an output noise of

(12)

In the first example the noise is dominated by the resistor noise due to the very high resistor values, in the

second example the very low resistor values add only a negligible contribution to the noise and now the

dominating factor is the op amp itself. When selecting the resistor values, it is important to choose values that

don't add extra noise to the application. Choosing values above 100k

Ω may increase the noise too much. Low

values will keep the noise within acceptable levels; choosing very low values however, will not make the noise

even lower, but will increase the current of the circuit.
