When the closed-loop gain of ±2 can use RFB = 300Ω and output is loaded with as little as 1kΩ from the amplifier’s RG = 300Ω.) feedback resistors, the amplifier shuts off in 200ns. This shutoff can be under the control of HC CMOS operating Driving Capacitive Load between 0V and – 5V.

At very high el- evated temperatures it is important to hold the SHDN pin close to the negative supply to keep the supply current from increasing.
