Oscillation and peaking occur primarily when op amps that are not properly compensated are used to drive large capacitive loads. The other results from this situation are lower bandwidth and lower ...

In 2008, Bob Pease exchanged e-mails with Linear Technology’s Mark Thoren, me, and a few other friends. The subject was how an amplifier will oscillate if you put a capacitive load on it. Bob knew ...

Capacitive displacement sensor’s touch-free nature makes it ideal for fragile surfaces and high-speed machinery.

Download this article in .PDF format This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Feedback systems have a wide range of applications including different types of amplifiers, signal ...

Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

It is a familiar situation. An application needs an amplifier with excellent output drive capability, say several hundred milliamps, to drive a large capacitive load. The supplier’s engineering team ...
