Gain Calculations Summary and

Recommendations

Condition #1: |Av| ≤ 50 and R1 ≤ 100 Ω

The Opamp is inherently stable for |Av| ≤ 50 and

R1 ≤ 100 Ω . No C2 co mpensation cap acitor

across R2 is required.

• |Av| = 1 config uration ha s 7 0° pha se margin

and 20 dB gain margin.

• |Av| = 50 configuration ha s phase margin be-

Condition #2: |Av| ≤ 50 and R1 > 100 Ω

Compensation capacitor C2 across R2 is required.

Calculate C2 using the following formula:

Condition #3: |Av| > 50

Compensation capacitor C2 across R2 is required.

Calculate and verify a value for C2 using the fol-

lowing steps.

Calculate the Compensation Capacitor Value:

1) Calculate a value for C2 using the following for-

mula:

C2 = 1 / [2π (R1||R2) • P1], where P1 = 1 MHz

To simplify the calculation, set the pole of the filter

to P1 = 1 MHz. P1 must be set h igher than the

opamp’s internal 50 kHz crossover frequency.

2) Calculate a second value for C2 using the fol-

lowing formula:

3) Use the la rger of t he two va lues calculated in

steps 1 & 2.

Verify the Opamp Compensation:

Verify the opamp co mpensation using the ope n-

loop gain and pha se resp onse Bode plot in

Figure 14. Plot the calculated clo sed loop gain

transfer function andverify the followingdesign cri-

teria are met:

• Pole P1 > opamp in ternal 50 kHz c rossover fre-

quency

-P1 = 1/ [2π (R1||R2) • C2], where P1 = 1 MHz

- To sim plify the ca lculation, set t he p ole t o

P1 = 1 MHz.

• Z1 < opamp internal 50 kHz crossover frequency

- Z1=1/(2π R2 • C2)

• Gain margin above the open-loop gain transfer

function is re quired. A g ain margin of +20 dB

above the open loop g ain transfer function is

optimal.

Powerdown (PDWN)

The CS3011 single amplifier provides a power-

down function on pin 1. If this pin is left ope n the

amplifier will operate normally. If the powerdown is

asserted low, the amplifier enters a powered down

state. Th ere is a pu ll-up resistor (approximately

800 k ohm) inside the amplifier from pin 1 to the V+

supply. The current through this pull-up resistor is

the main source of current drain in the powerdown

state.
