Overview: For many applications current feedback amplifiers offer distinct advantages over more the more conventional voltage feedback amplifiers. These applications include video switching and buffering, driving large signals over cables, amplifying RF and IF signals and buffering analog to digital converters.
There are a few simple principals for getting the best performance from current feedback amplifiers.
This seminar describes the basic topology of current feedback amplifiers, the main reasons for using them, and the VIP 10 process. Also covered are tips for best performance, selection criteria and trouble shooting sections will be followed by a highlighting of the current suite of high speed current feedback amplifiers offered by National Semiconductor.
