The TLC2274 is designed to drive larger capacitive loads than most CMOS operational amplifiers. Figure 48 and Figure 49 show its ability to drive loads up to 1000 pF while maintaining good gain and phase margins (Rnull = 0).
As per Equation 1:
Improvement in Phase Margin | UGBW (kHz) | R null (Ω) | CL (pF) |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 1000 | 0 | 1000 |
7.15 | 1000 | 20 | 1000 |
17.43 | 1000 | 50 | 1000 |
32.12 | 1000 | 100 | 1000 |
A smaller series resistor (Rnull) at the output of the device (see Figure 47) improves the gain and phase margins when driving large capacitive loads. Figure 48 and Figure 49 show the effects of adding series resistances of 10 Ω, 50 Ω, 100 Ω, 200 Ω, and 500 Ω. The addition of this series resistor has two effects: the first is that it adds a zero to the transfer function and the second is that it reduces the frequency of the pole associated with the output load in the transfer function.
The zero introduced to the transfer function is equal to the series resistance times the load capacitance. To calculate the improvement in phase margin, Equation 1 can be used.
where
The unity-gain bandwidth (UGBW) frequency decreases as the capacitive load increases (see Figure 47). To use equation 1, UGBW must be approximated from Figure 47. Using Equation 1 alone overestimates the improvement in phase margin, as illustrated in Figure 51. The overestimation is caused by the decrease in the frequency of the pole associated with the load, thus providing additional phase shift and reducing the overall improvement in phase margin. Using Figure 47, with Equation 1 enables the designer to choose the appropriate output series resistance to optimize the design of circuits driving large capacitance loads.
