Attila,

That is a most excellent signature.

I understood exactly to what you were referring after the first line.

Hi,

I've been again reading a bit and stumbled over a few application
notes by Jim Williams. What stuck out on those, that he uses at times
JFET differnetial pairs as a kind of pre-amplifier before opamps (e.g. [1], [2])

The only reason I can think of using JFETs is low gate input leakage.
But in [1], the LSK389 has a specified max input leakage of 200pA
while the LTC6241 has 75pA.

Could someone be so kind and enlighten me, why a JFET diff pair
makes sense in such applications?
