OPA1642 Typical Application

The OPA1641, OPA1642, and OPA1644 are unity-gain stable, audio operational amplifiers with very low noise, input bias current, and input offset voltage. Applications with noisy or high-impedance power supplies require decoupling capacitors placed close to the device pins. In most cases, 0.1μ F capacitors are adequate. Figure 32 shows a simplified schematic of the OPA1641.
