Introduction

Linear Technology Corporation has taken advantage of advances in process technology and circuit innovations to create a series of C-Load operational amplifiers that are tolerant of capacitive loading, including the ultimate, amplifiers that remain stable driving any capacitive load. This series of amplifiers has a bandwidth that ranges from 160kHz to 140MHz. These amplifiers are appropriate for a wide range ...
