To minimize the effect of input bias current in an
amplifier circuit (this is important for very high source-
impedance applications, such as pH meters and
transimpedance amplifiers), the impedance at both
inverting and non-inverting inputs needs to be
matched. This is done by choosing the circuit resistor
values so that the total resistance at each input is the
same. Figure 4-1 shows a summing amplifier circuit.
FIGURE 4-1:
To match the inputs, set all voltage sources to ground
and calculate the total resistance at the input nodes. In
this summing amplifier circuit, the resistance at the
inverting input is calculated by setting V

accuracy, the resistor values need to meet the

In analog circuit design, the PCB parasitic capacitance
can compromise the circuit behavior; Figure 4-2 shows
a typical scenario. If the input of an amplifier sees
parasitic capacitance of several picofarad (C
which includes the common mode capacitance of 6 pF,
typical), and large R
of the circuit will include a zero. This parasitic zero
introduces gain peaking and can cause circuit
instability.
FIGURE 4-2:
Capacitance at the Input.
One solution is to use smaller resistor values to push
the zero to a higher frequency. Another solution is to
compensate by introducing a pole at the point at which
the zero occurs. This can be done by adding C
parallel with the feedback resistor (R
