SETTLING TIME vs INPUT VOLTAGEBandwidth and Slew Rate The exceptionally fast settling time characteristics are largely For those cases where bandwidth reduction is desired, for due to the high combination of high gain and wide bandwidth example, broadband noise reduction, an external capacitor of the CA3140; as shown in Figure 6. connected between Terminals 1 and 8 can reduce the open Input Circuit Considerations loop -3dB bandwidth. The slew rate will, however, also be As mentioned previously, the amplifier inputs can be driven proportionally reduced by using this additional capacitor. below the Terminal 4 potential, but a series current limiting Thus, a 20% reduction in bandwidth by this technique will resistor is recommended to limit the maximum input terminal also reduce the slew rate by about 20%. current to less than 1mA to prevent damage to the input Figure 5 shows the typical settling time required to reach protection circuitry. 1mV or 10mV of the final value for various levels of large Moreover, some current limiting resistance should be signal inputs for the voltage follower and inverting unity gain provided between the inverting input and the output when amplifiers. 8 FN957.10 July 11, 2005
