APPLICATIONS INFORMATIONFeedback Resistor Selection fi er bandwidth is only reduced when the capacitive load is present. The disadvantage is that the gain is a function The small-signal bandwidth of the LT6559 is set by the of the load resistance. external feedback resistors and the internal junction capacitors. As a result, the bandwidth is a function of Power Supplies the supply voltage, the value of the feedback resistor, the closed-loop gain and the load resistor.
