Large-Signal Response, AV = –1Slew Rate Unlike a traditional op amp, the slew rate of a current feedback amplifier is not independent of the amplifier gain configuration. There are slew rate limitations in both the input stage and the output stage. In the inverting mode, and for higher gains in the noninverting mode, the signal amplitude on the input pins is small and the overall slew rate is that of the output stage. The input stage slew rate is related to the quiescent current and will be reduced as the supply current is reduced. The output slew rate is set by the value of the feedback resistors and the internal RF = RG = 750Ω VS = ±15V 1210X F05c RL = 10Ω capacitance. Larger feedback resistors will reduce the slew rate as will lower supply voltages, similar to the way Figure 5c. Large-Signal Response, AV = 2 the bandwidth is reduced. The photos in Figures 5a, 5b and 5c show the large-signal response of the LT1210X for various gain configurations. The slew rate varies from 770V/µs for a gain of 1, to 1100V/µs for a gain of –1. 1210Xfa 10 For more information www.linear.com/LT1210X
