With a current feedback amplifier, the has relatively constant bandwidth vs. gain, the 3 dB point being current into the inverting input is the feedback signal, and the set when |TZ| = RF. open-loop behavior is that of a transimpedance, dVO/dIIN or TZ. For a real amplifier, there are additional poles that contribute The open-loop transimpedance is analogous to the open-loop excess phase, and there is a value for RF below which the amplifier voltage gain of a voltage feedback amplifier. Figure 21 shows a is unstable. Tolerance for peaking and desired flatness determines simplified model of a current feedback amplifier. Because RIN is the optimum RF in each application. proportional to 1/gm, the equivalent voltage gain is TZ × gm, RF where gm is the transconductance of the input stage. Basic analysis of the follower with gain circuit yields RGR V T (s) IN OUT Z = G × TZVIOUTIN V T (s) + G × R + R IN Z IN F RN where: VIN -018 R 40 F G = 1+ 69 0 R Figure 21.
