< Back Solving the Noise Puzzle Introduction Noise is one of the more important aspects of circuit design. Lower noise in audio amplifier design means better quality audio. Low-noise in instrument design means more reliable and accurate measurements at lower voltage and current levels. And low-noise in current source designs means less noise injected into the electronic system. One of the most basic approaches to reduce noise in an amplifier is to use low-noise components. This would include low-noise bipolar transistors and low-valued resistors. Although one can use low-noise operational amplifiers in the design of low-noise circuits or low-noise current sources it is often not done. This is because lower noise can be often be obtained with a well-thought out discrete design. And that’s because discrete transistors offer much more design customization capability for specific circuit applications – like optimized collector biasing. One must remember that monolithic chip designs are built for the most part for general purpose applications. It is hard to tailor a specific op amp or current source chip for a specific source resistance, specific power consumption requirement and a specific bandwidth that will lower the overall noise – that is unless you add-on more compensation components.

N-CHANNEL JFET, VOLTAGE CONTROLLED RESISTOR < Back LS26VNS N-CHANNEL JFET, VOLTAGE CONTROLLED RESISTOR The LS26VNS N-Channel Single JFET voltage controlled resistor has a drain-source resistance that is controlled by a DC bias voltage (VGS) applied to a high impedance gate terminal. Minimum RDS of 14 Ω occurs when VGS = -1.0V. As VGS approaches the pinch-off voltage of -6.0V RDS rapidly increases to the maximum value or RDS = 38 Ω. For the P-Channel version, please see our LS26VPS. Both the N and P-channel parts are made from the same die geometry, making them complimentary.

This is part of a family of ultra-low-noise dual JFETs specifically designed to provide users with better-performing, less-time-consuming, and cost-effective solutions for obtaining tighter IDSS matching and better thermal tracking than matching individual JFETs. Available in surface-mount and RoHS-compliant versions, the LSK489 is an ideal improved functional replacement for similar JFETs with inferior noise characteristics and higher gate-to-drain capacitance, making it suitable for space-limited circuits in audio and instrumentation applications. The LSK489 offers designers a significant increase in capabilities for a wide range of low-noise applications. Its lower capacitance, 4pF compared to 25pF in similar products, enables simpler circuit designs without the need for a cascode configuration, which can introduce higher circuit noise. Like the LSK389, the LSK489 features a unique design construction of interleaving both JFETs on the same piece of silicon, providing excellent matching, thermal tracking, and nearly zero popcorn noise. The LSK489 is available in surface-mount SOIC-8, thru-hole TO-71, and smaller SOT23-6 packages. Lead-free, RoHS-compliant versions are available. Linear Systems' domestic factory stock guarantees short lead times, ensuring no disruption in production schedules.
