THEORY OF OPERATION

The ADA4310-1 is a current feedback amplifier with high

output current capability. With a current feedback amplifier, the

current into the inverting input is the feedback signal, and the

open-loop behavior is that of a transimpedance, dVO/dIIN or TZ.

The open-loop transimpedance is analogous to the open-loop

voltage gain of a voltage feedback amplifier. Figure 20 shows a

simplified model of a current feedback amplifier. Because RIN is

proportional to 1/gm, the equivalent voltage gain is just TZ × gm,

where gm is the transconductance of the input stage. Basic

analysis of the follower with gain circuit yields

Because G × RIN << RF for low gains, a current feedback

amplifier has relatively constant bandwidth vs. gain, the 3 dB

point being set when |TZ| = RF.

Of course, for a real amplifier there are additional poles that

contribute excess phase, and there is a value for RF below which

the amplifier is unstable. Tolerance for peaking and desired

flatness determines the optimum RF in each application.
