The article discusses the challenges over the selection of optimal precision operational amplifiers for high-end sensor-input processing designs. It notes that the challenge comes in when the type of sensors requires special demands including ultra-low power, low noise, and solid thermal stability. It suggests that designers need to comprehend multiple aspects on specifications, performance, and balancing cost considerations such as the use of chopper-stabilized op amps.
