Best for stepped input response applications, suboptimum THD
and noise performance, requires

Same as above but with improved noise performance due to
increase in dynamic range. Headroom/settling time requirements
of
±
5 V op amp should be evaluated.

Optimum noise performance, excellent THD performance. Requires
op amp with VCC > +5 V due to insufficient headroom @ 5 V.

Optimum THD performance with VREF = 1, noise performance
improves while THD performance degrades as VREF increases
to 2.5 V. Single supply operation (i.e., +5 V) for many op amps.
