AC RESPONSE WITH HIGH VALUE SOURCE AND

FEEDBACK RESISTANCE

Source and feedback resistances greater than 100 kΩ magnify

the effect of the input capacitances (stray and inherent to

the AD549) on the ac behavior of the circuit. The effects of

common-mode and differential input capacitances should be

taken into account because the circuit bandwidth and stability

can be adversely affected.

In a follower, the source resistance and input common-mode

Bootstrapping the metal case by connecting Pin 8 to the output

minimizes capacitance due to the package. Figure 32 and

Figure 33 show the follower pulse response from a 1 MΩ source

resistance with and without the package connected to the

output. Typical common-mode input capacitance for the

AD549 is 0.8 pF.

In an inverting configuration, the differential input capacitance

forms a pole in the loop transmission of the circuit. This can

create peaking in the ac response and possible instability. A

feedback capacitance can be used to stabilize the circuit. The

in Figure 34. Figure 35 shows the response of the same circuit

with a 1 pF feedback capacitance. Typical differential input

capacitance for the AD549 is 1 pF.

COMMON-MODE INPUT VOLTAGE OVERLOAD

The rated common-mode input voltage range of the AD549 is

from 3 V less than the positive supply voltage to 5 V greater than

the negative supply voltage. Exceeding this range degrades the

CMRR of the amplifier. Driving the common-mode voltage above

the positive supply causes the amplifier output to saturate at the

upper limit of the output voltage. Recovery time is typically 2 μs

after the input has been returned to within the normal operating

range. Driving the input common-mode voltage within 1 V of the

negative supply causes phase reversal of the output signal. In this

case, normal operation typically resumes within 0.5 μs of the

input voltage returning within range.
