AD8004DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS In noninverting gains, the effect of extra capacitance on The AD8004 was designed primarily to drive nonreactive loads. summing junctions is far more pronounced than with inverting If driving loads with a capacitive component is desired, best gains. Figure 9 shows an example of this. Note that only 1 pF of settling response is obtained by the addition of a small series added junction capacitance causes about a 70% bandwidth resistance as shown in Figure 6. The accompanying graph shows extension and additional peaking on a gain = +2. For an inverting the optimum value for RSERIES vs. capacitive load. It is worth gain = –2, 5 pF of additional summing junction capacitance noting that the frequency response of the circuit when driving caused a small 10% bandwidth extension. large capacitive loads will be dominated by the passive roll-off of RSERIES and CL. Extra output capacitive loading also causes bandwidth exten- 1k ⍀ sions and peaking. The effect is more pronounced with less resistive loading from the next stage. Figure 10 shows the effect RSERIES of direct output capacitive loads for gains of +2 and –2. For both 1k ⍀ AD8004 gains CLOAD was set to 10 pF or 0 pF (no extra capacitive loading). RL For each of the four traces in Figure 10 the resistive loads were 1k ⍀ CL 100 ⍀. Figure 11 also shows capacitive loading effects with a lighter output resistive load. Note that even though bandwidth Figure 6.
