The input stage for each :adi:`AD4884` channel consists of a pair
of :adi:`LT6236` op amps. The LT6236 is selected for its
wideband (90 MHz), low noise, favorable distortion performance
and low power consumption. The op amps are set up as
unity-gain buffers, ensuring that a preceding signal source or
sensor is presented with a high impedance. With supply rail
values of +5 V and -5 V, the valid range at each input of this
stage is -3 V to +3.7 V.

Looks like in this file, the text wrapping is not bounded to 80 characters, but rather a smaller number. Can you adjust this?
