Feature Description (continued)

with the output to improve capacitive load drive, as shown in Figure 41. This resistor reduces ringing and

maintains dc performance for purely capacitive loads. However, if a resistive load is in parallel with the capacitive

load, then a voltage divider is created, which introduces a gain error at the output and reduces the output swing.

load drive makes the OPAx202 a great choice for applications such as reference buffers, MOSFET gate drives,

using the OPAx202. For additional information on techniques to optimize and design using this circuit, TI

Precision Design TIPD128 details complete design goals, simulation, and test results.
