Figure 12. Closed-Loop Gain vs. Frequency for the Circuit
of Figure 9
Figure 13 is an oscilloscope photo of the pulse response of a
unity gain inverter that has been configured to provide a small
signal bandwidth of 53 MHz and a subsequent slew rate of
180 V/µs; resistor RF = 3 kΩ and capacitor CCOMP = 1 pF. Figure 14
shows the excellent pulse response as a unity gain inverter, this
using component values of RF = 1 kΩ and CCOMP = 4 pF.
Figures 15 and 16 show the closed-loop frequency response of the
AD829 for different closed-loop gains and different supply voltages.
If a noninverting amplifier configuration using current feedback
compensation is needed, the circuit of Figure 17 is recommended.
This circuit provides a slew rate twice that of the shunt com-
pensated noninverting amplifier of Figure 18 at the expense of
gain flatness. Nonetheless, this circuit delivers 95 MHz bandwidth
with ± 1 dB flatness into a back terminated cable, with a differ-
ential gain error of only 0.01% and a differential phase error of
only 0.015° at 4.43 MHz.
