We analog designers take great pains to make our amplifiers stable when we design them, but there are many situations that cause them to oscillate in the real world. Various types of loads can make ...

Heavy load capacitance can cause the output of a unity-gain follower—an operational amplifier with direct feedback to the inverting input (Fig 1)—to ring and oscillate. The LM110 follower, for example ...

This time I’ve opened up the way-back machine and unearthed a piece I first published nearly 20 years ago, when I was at the Burr-Brown Corporation. Op-amp compensation is still a topic that surfaces ...
