THEORY OF OPERATION

CONSIDERATIONS
transimpedance behaves just as the open-loop voltage gain As to be expected for a wideband amplifier, PC board parasitics of a voltage feedback amplifier, that is, it has a large dc value can affect the overall closed-loop performance. Of concern are and decreases at roughly 6 dB/octave in frequency. stray capacitances at the output and the inverting input nodes. If Since R a ground plane is to be used on the same side of the board as IN is proportional to 1/gM, the equivalent voltage gain is just T the signal traces, a space (5 mm min) should be left around the Z × gM, where the gM in question is the transconductance of the input stage. Using this amplifier as a follower with gain, signal lines to minimize coupling. Figure 43, basic analysis yields the following result:

In addition, if large current transients must be delivered to the load, then bypass capacitors R G F = 1 + (typically greater than 1 µF) will be required to provide the best RG settling time and lowest distortion. A parallel combination of RIN = 1/gM ≈ 25 Ω 10.0 µF and 0.1 µF is recommended. Under some low frequency applications, a bypass capacitance of greater than 10
