I know audiophiles wet their panties over that one...if you do a Google search on it a lot of designs from audio enthusiast sites pop up -- ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/

I'd like to get it into my LT Spice circuit, but TI only furnishes Pspice and Tina models, so I'll have to shoehorn one of them into LT Spice. The models are huge. As a shortcut, I could use the UniversalOpamp model and plug in the key specs, but I can't find documentation on that, either. Like, what does the noise parameter 'en' actually do? Or 'enk' ? -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc picosecond timing laser drivers and controllers jlarkin att highlandtechnology dott com http://www.highlandtechnology.com

0.00001% reminds me of audio amp adds of teh late sixties.
>Sounds too good to be true.
Depends who is listening I suppose. A good audiophile can easily hear 0.000001%.

Well the LME suggests that they got it when they took over National Semiconductor, so it might be okay. TI has been known to publish data sheets on the basis that if they get enough interest they'll try to make the part that matches the data sheet. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

/Real/ audiophiles don't use opamps !

Note that the GBW is 110MHz on page 1 of the specs :) Nice op-amp!

/Real/ audiophiles are notorious lunatics. I have a long list somewhere around of idiotic audio terms, like "macrodynamics" and "soundstaging" and "bass speed." This amp looks better than the LT1028. I hope it doesn't have a similar noise peak off the graph. -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc picosecond timing laser drivers and controllers jlarkin att highlandtechnology dott com http://www.highlandtechnology.com

Yup. The ADI low-noise amps, still relatively noisy, are slow. The LT1028 is below 1 nv/rthz but has issues.

Nice opamp..Thanks, well lotsa current noise, and the slew rate is a bit slow for a 100MHz GBW. Too bad they don't show the noise plots out past 100kHz. (Maybe someone will measure it?) George H.
