Although this approach offers the shortest settling time, the
falling edge exhibits overshoot up to 30% lasting 200 to
300ns.
Figure 4
shows the typical pulse response.
If obtai ning minimum ringing at the fall ing edge is the prima ry
objective, a slight modification to the above is recommended.
It is based on t he sa me circ uit as t ha t of
Figure 1.
The values of the unity gain compensation capacitors CC and
CA should be modified to 5pF and 1000pF, respectively.
Figure 5
shows the suitable capacitance to use for various
closed-loop gains. The resulting unity gain pulse response
waveform is shown in
Figure 6.
The s ettlin g ti me to 1 % final
val ue is actually superior to the firs t method of compensa tion.
How ever, the LH0032 suffers slow settling thereafter to 0.1%
accuracy at t he falling edge, and near ly four times as much at
the rising edge, compared to the previous scheme. Note,
however , t hat the falling edge ringing is c onside rably r educ ed.
Furthermore, the slew rate is consistentl y superior using this
compensation because of the smaller value of Miller
capacitance CC requ ired .
The second compensation scheme works well with both
inverting or non-inverting modes.
Figure 7
shows the circuit
schem atic, in wh ich a 270ohm resist or an d a 0.0 1 µF capacit or
are shunted across the inputs of the device. This lag
compensation introduces a zero in the loop modifying the
response such that adequate phase margin is preserved at
unity gain crossover frequency. Note that the circuit requires
no addition al com pen sation.
Heat Sinking
While the LH0032 is specified for operation without any
explicit heat sink, internal power dissipation does cause a
significant temperature rise. Improved bias current
perf orm ance can thus be obtained by l imiting this t em p er at ur e
rise with a sm a ll heat sink such as the Ther m alloy No. 2241 or
equivalent. The case of the device has no internal
connection, so it may be electrically connected to the sink if
this is advantageous. However, that this will affect the stray
capacitance to all pins and may thus require adjustment of
circuit compensation values.
