PRODUCTION DATA
The dynamic characteristics of the OPAx171-Q1 family of devices have been optimized for commonly encountered operating conditions. The combination of low closed-loop gain and high capacitive loads decreases the phase margin of the amplifier and can lead to gain peaking or oscillations. As a result, heavier capacitive loads must be isolated from the output. The simplest way to achieve this isolation is to add a small resistor (for example, ROUT equal to 50 Ω) in series with the output. Figure 6-2 and Figure 6-3 show small-signal overshoot versus capacitive load for several values of ROUT.
