Novel current feedback operational amplifierbased configuration that Circuit Diagram These two circuits illustrate the basic distinctions between current-feedback and voltage-feedback amplifiers. In both cases, the feedback network is connected to an (inverting) input node. In Figure 1, the emitter presents a low imped-ance input, while in Figure 3 the base presents a high impedance input. determines the voltage gain in current-feedbackop amp circuits. With current feedback, however, dynamic performance is largely independent of the voltage gain. (See AN-300Simple Circuit Detects Loss of 4-20 mA Signal (SNOA605) for a technical discussion of current-feedback.)Also, the optimum feedback Current feedback amplifiers are used in broadcast video systems, radar systems, IF and RF stages, RGB distribution systems and many other high speed circuits. As with any new circuit, there are several new rules that must be kept in mind to prevent problems. Because current feedback amplifiers act very much the same as regular op amps, it is
Current feedback op amps do not have a fixed gain-bandwidth product. Figure 4: Current Feedback Amplifier Frequency Response . Gain is manipulated in a CFB op amp application by choosing the correct feedback resistor for the device (R2), and then selecting the bottom resistor (R1) to yield the desired closed loop gain. feedback op amp equations, and they teach the concept of relative stability and com-pensation of potentially unstable op amps. Chapter 8 develops the current feedback op amp equations and discusses current feedback stability. Chapter 9 compares current feedback and voltage feedback op amps. The meat of this book is Chapters 12, 13, and

Figure 4. Internal circuitry of an op-amp [2] 1.2. Kirchhoff's Current Law applied to Op-amps An operational amplifier circuit can be analyzed with the use of a well-accepted observation known as Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL). KCL simply states that the currents entering a node are equal in magnitude to the currents leaving that same node. A

This name comes from the early days of amplifier design, when the op amp was used in analog computers. (Yes, the first computers were analog in nature, rather than digital). When the basic amplifier was used with a few external components, various mathematical
