Hi there,

a client of mine insists in using ONLY Ca3240s instead of TL082s.
Anybody knows a reason exept Intersil shareholdership?

Most specs favor the JFET '082, but some favor the '3240.
If he needs operation to the negative rail, either IN or
OUT, the CA3240 gets the nod. Being a mosfet, it also has
less leakage at high ambient temps. But many would consider
the lack of a second source to be a strong mark against it.

output to rail?

** Examination of the EIN curves for both devices shows big differences in
the way noise varies with frequency.

The MOSFET input device has a constantly falling curve which is quite unlike
most JFET and BJT input amplifiers which have curves that remain level above
a certain break frequency - usually at a few hundred Hz.

See fig 18 on page 13.

http://www.intersil.com/data/fn/fn1050.pdf

See fig 21 on page 14.

Means the MOSFET device is significantly *less* noisy above about 5 kHz than
the JFET one.

Could be useful to know....

Interesting, Thanks Phil. Say I noticed the other day that the opa134
has current noise that starts to rise dramatically with frequency
above 2kHz or so.

http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/opa134.pdf

See the graph at the bottom of page 4.

Is this common for all jfet opamps? I've never seen other spec sheets
that plot current noise vs. frequency for FET opamps.
