The noise model is shown in Figure 62, where:
l eN: input voltage noise of the amplifier
l iNn: negative input current noise of the amplifier
l iNp: positive input current noise of the amplifier

V1 = eN × 1 + RR-----21--
V2 = iNn × R2
V3 = iNp × R3 × 1 + RR-----21--
V4 = –RR-----21-- × 4kTR1
V5 = 4kTR2
V6 = 1 + RR-----21-- 4kTR3
We assume that the thermal noise of a resistance R is:
4 k T R DF
where ∆F is the specified bandwidth.
