This is very different from the virtual ground of a noninverting gains. Figure 32 shows a typical configuration conventional operational amplifier used in the current summing providing a gain of 100 with high input resistance. The feedback mode, which is essentially an open circuit until the loop settles. resistor is kept as low as practicable to maximize bandwidth, In the AD844, transient current at the input does not cause and a peaking capacitor (CPK) can optionally be added to voltage spikes at the summing node while the amplifier is further extend the bandwidth. Figure 33 shows the small signal settling. Furthermore, all of the transient current is delivered response with CPK = 3 nF, RL = 500 Ω, and supply voltages of to the slewing (TZ) node (Pin 5) via a short signal path (the either ±5 V or ±15 V. Gain bandwidth products of up to grounded base stages and the wideband current mirrors). 900 MHz can be achieved in this way. The current available to charge the capacitance (about 4.5 pF) at The offset voltage of the AD844 is laser trimmed to the 50 μV the TZ node is always proportional to the input error current, level and exhibits very low drift. In practice, there is an and the slew rate limitations associated with the large signal additional offset term due to the bias current at the inverting response of the op amps do not occur. For this reason, the rise input (IBN), which flows in the feedback resistor (R1). This can and fall times are almost independent of signal level. In practice, optionally be nulled by the trimming potentiometer shown in the input current eventually causes the mirrors to saturate. Figure 32. When using ±15 V supplies, this occurs at about 10 mA (or +VS ±2200 V/μs). Because signal currents are rarely this large, classical slew rate limitations are absent. 4.7ΩOFFSET This inherent advantage is lost if the voltage follower used to TRIM buffer the output has slew rate limitations. The AD844 is CPKR1 designed to avoid this problem, and as a result, the output 3nF20kΩ499Ω buffer exhibits a clean large signal transient response, free from 1 anomalous effects arising from internal saturation. 80.22µF2RESPONSE AS A NONINVERTING AMPLIFIERR274.99Ω Because current feedback amplifiers are asymmetrical with AD8446 regard to their two inputs, performance differs markedly in VIN3RL noninverting and inverting modes. In noninverting modes, the 40.22µF large signal high speed behavior of the AD844 deteriorates at 4.7Ω low gains because the biasing circuitry for the input system (not 32 0 shown in Figure 31) is not designed to provide high input –V 97- S 008 voltage slew rates. Figure 32. Noninverting Amplifier Gain = 100, Optional Offset Trim Is Shown However, good results can be obtained with some care. The 46 noninverting input does not tolerate a large transient input; it must be kept below ±1 V for best results. Consequently, this VS = ±15V40 mode is better suited to high gain applications (greater than ×10). Figure 23 shows a noninverting amplifier with a gain of 10 VS = ±5V and a bandwidth of 30 MHz. The transient response is shown in )34B d Figure 26 and Figure 27. To increase the bandwidth at higher ( IN gains, a capacitor can be added across R2 whose value is GA28 approximately (R1/R2) × Ct. 2216100k1M10M20M 0-047 FREQUENCY (Hz) 89 00 Figure 33.
