Why not use an LM334?
Thanks but I still prefer jfet cascode.
Low noise fets: BF862, 2SK107GR, 2SK117GR to name a few
Those items were discontinued already
My version of the G = 1000 low noise measurement amp (for Ikoflexer).
That and the few surounding posts have some info on Sanyo/Fairchild/Onsemi/? jfet parts

You can still get the 2SK209, which is the SMD version of the 2SK117. It has only slightly higher en than a 2SK170 but about a third of the capacitance.
Apparently 3nV/sqrtHz :

Hi,
[ other text trimmed]
The capacitances are higher than wished for for a CCS.
Calvin
can you use a low capacitance device for the cascode ?
the cascode device doesn't contribute much noise, so you can choose based on capacitance
with the cascode, the ccs device underneath doesn't have dynamic voltages, so the capacitance is much less important
or am i missing something??
"with the cascode, the ccs device underneath doesn't have dynamic voltages, so the capacitance is much less important"
What's more is those cascode devices present a low impedance to the capacitance underneath it. The designer doesn't have to care about the capacitance of large die matched transistors.
