Amplifiers 201 - Current Feedback Operational Amplifier

Amplifiers 201 - Current Feedback Operational Amplifier



Objective: This training module discusses the current feedback operational amplifier (CFB op amp). There will be a brief background of the current feedback op amp. The module will then work its way through the basics of what a current feedback amplifier is and why you might chose one for use in a circuit. There is a chapter that offers advice on choosing the appropriate op amp and a chapter that shows how to optimize the performance of the op amp. Since troublshooting is so important, the module contains a chapter that explains ways to fix some of the most common problems with current feedback op amps.
