PRODUCTION DATA

The LM6172 has a very fast slew rate that causes overshoot and undershoot. To reduce settling time on LM6172, a 1kΩ resistor can be placed in series with the input signal to decrease slew rate. A feedback capacitor can also be used to reduce overshoot and undershoot. This feedback capacitor serves as a zero to increase the stability of the amplifier circuit. A 2pF feedback capacitor is recommended for initial evaluation. When the LM6172 is configured as a buffer, a feedback resistor of 1kΩ must be added in parallel to the feedback capacitor.
Another possible source of overshoot and undershoot comes from capacitive load at the output. See also Section 7.1.3.
