I made a simple amplifier with a CMOS OPAMP (AD8656 or AD8616). The distortion is very low with AC/DC power (LM317), 0.0005%. However, if I use batteries, the distortion goes up to 0.0025%. Adding a power filtering cap does not make a difference. If I use a bipolar OPAMP (AD8397), then no difference between AC/DC and battery. Why CMOS does not like battery? Any idea?
