8.1.4 Capacitive Loads

Capacitive loads, such as the input to ADCs, decreases the amplifier phase margin, which can cause high-frequency peaking or oscillations. Figure 8-3 shows how capacitive loads ≥ 2pF can be isolated by connecting a small resistor in series with the output. Increasing the gain from 2V/V improves the capacitive drive capabilities as a result of increased phase margin.

OPA698 Driving Capacitive Loads Figure 8-3 Driving Capacitive Loads

In general, minimize capacitive loads for optimized high-frequency performance. The capacitance of coax cable (29pF/ft for RG-58) cannot load the amplifier when the coaxial cable, or transmission line, is terminated in the characteristic impedance.
