Abstract :
The effects of current-mirror emitter degeneration on monolithic Norton amplifier operation are described. The limits on practical improvement in noise performance obtainable are discussed. An active filter is used to illustrate the substantial noise reduction that can be achieved over standard handbook designs, and the predictions are verified experimentally.
