LT1567 UUWUAPPLICATIO S I FOR ATIOFunctional Description addressing the different sensitivities to these effects when used as a filter section. This combination produces The LT1567 contains two low noise rail-to-rail output, a low noise filter with better distortion performance than wideband operational amplifiers, one of them connected would be possible with identical amplifiers. internally as a unity-gain inverter.
