At G=2, 100 ohm load, they suggest that both resistors be 715 ohms for
good large-signal performance. Playing with the resistors changes
transient response but doesn't much affect the apparent 10 pF input
capacitance.

The eval board, and the S-params setup, effectively drive the ni input
from a 25 ohm source. The frequency response curves are unclear on
what the generator source impedance may be. They give inverting and ni
curves small-signal, but the large-signal stuff is all inverting. Are
they trying to hide the actual performance?

TI is beginning to disappoint me.

John, have you had a chance to compare the TI CFBs with the AD
versions?

(Great thread, by the way...)

Thanks,

Tom


The ADI parts are great if you don't need a lot of voltage swing. We
use AD8009's, 8014's, 8001's, all great parts without quirks.

The TI's have insane slew rates and bandwidth with +-7.5 or even +-15
rails, like nothing else I know of.

TI also makes some insanely fast fixed-gain amps, THS4302 and 4303.

Thanks, John. Great info. I'm keeping this whole thread for
reference.
