I am afraid that you do not understand. You do not apply amps, you apply voltage. The internal load impedance of the device is something you have no control over. You will only increase the total load impedance by adding external resistance, which will be a DC resistance added to the network. The only thing you will accomplish by that is reducing the working voltage across the chip itself and increasing the noise contribution. Would it not be wise to read a few pages on ohms law to inform yourself? You do not need to delve into AC signal characteristics or noise. Just familiar yourself with the concepts of E=IR (the relationship between voltage, current and resistance; volts equals network resistance times network current. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason White" To: "Microcontroller discussion list - Public."
