LT1194
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Murphy Circuits
There are several precautions the user should take when
using the LT1194 in order to realize its full capability.
Although the LT1194 can drive a 50pF capacitive load,
isolating the capacitance with 10Ω can be helpful. Precau-
tions primarily have to do with driving large capacitive
loads.
Other precautions include:
1. Use a ground plane (see Design Note 50, High Fre-
quency Amplifier Evaluation Board).
2. Do not use high source impedances. The input capaci-
tance of 2pF, and RS = 10k, for instance, will give an
8MHz – 3dB bandwidth.
3. PC board socket may reduce stability.
