During the fast feedthrough-like portion of the output, the
input protection diodes effectively short the output to the
input and a current, limited only by the output short circuit

Noise Testing
Each individual amplifier is tested to 4.2nV/ Hz voltage
noise; i.e., for the LT1124 two tests, for the LT1125 four
tests are performed. Noise testing for competing multiple
op amps, if done at all, may be sample tested or tested
using the circuit shown in Figure 4.
e
If the LT1125 were tested this way, the noise limit would
be 4 • (4.2nV/ Hz)
screen? What if three of the four amplifiers are at a typical
2.7nV/ Hz, and the fourth one was contaminated and has
6.9nV/ Hz noise?
RMS Sum = (2.7)
This passes an 8.4nV/ Hz spec, yet one of the amplifiers
is 64% over the LT1125 spec limit. Clearly, for proper
noise measurement, the op amps have to be tested
individually.
