Abstract
The noise power of an amplifier or buffer can increase towards the unity gain crossover frequency of the amplifier. The inventor realized that many applications do not require the full bandwidth capability of the amplifier all of the time and hence step could be taken to reduce the bandwidth at the output of the amplifier and hence the noise power can be reduced when appropriate, taking other operating requirements into consideration.
