The suggested nulling circuit for the LT1354 is peaking or oscillations. For feedback resistors greater shown below. than 5kΩ, a parallel capacitor of value Offset Nulling CF > (RG • CIN)/RF V+ should be used to cancel the input pole and optimize 3 7 + dynamic performance. For unity-gain applications where 6 LT1354 a large feedback resistor is used, C 4 F should be greater 2 – 8 than or equal to CIN. 1 10k Capacitive Loading V– The LT1354 is stable with any capacitive load. This is 1354 AI01 accomplished by sensing the load induced output pole and Layout and Passive Components adding compensation at the amplifier gain node. As the capacitive load increases, both the bandwidth and phase The LT1354 amplifier is easy to apply and tolerant of less margin decrease so there will be peaking in the frequency than ideal layouts. For maximum performance (for domain and in the transient response as shown in the example fast settling time) use a ground plane, short lead typical performance curves.The photo of the small-signal lengths, and RF-quality bypass capacitors (0.01µF to response with 1000pF load shows 43% peaking. The large 0.1µF). For high drive current applications use low ESR signal response with a 10,000pF load shows the output bypass capacitors (1µF to 10µF tantalum). Sockets should slew rate being limited to 5V/µs by the short-circuit be avoided when maximum frequency performance is current. Coaxial cable can be driven directly, but for best required, although low profile sockets can provide pulse fidelity a resistor of value equal to the characteristic reasonable performance up to 50MHz. For more details impedance of the cable (i.e., 75Ω) should be placed in see Design Note 50. series with the output. The other end of the cable should be terminated with the same value resistor to ground. 9
