Four-Pole Low-Pass Filter Table 8. Q Requirements and Pole PositionsCAPACITIVE LOAD DRIVESectionPolesQ The ADA4666-2 can safely drive capacitive loads of up to 50 pF A −0.9239 ± j0.3827 0.5412 in any configuration. As with most amplifiers, driving larger B −0.3827 ± j0.9239 1.3065 capacitive loads than specified may cause excessive overshoot The Sallen-Key topology is widely used due to its simple design and ringing, or even oscillation. Heavy capacitive load reduces with few circuit elements. This topology provides the user the phase margin and causes the amplifier frequency response to flexibility of implementing either a low-pass or a high-pass filter peak. Peaking corresponds to overshooting or ringing in the by simply interchanging the resistors and capacitors. The time domain. Therefore, it is recommended that external ADA4666-2 is configured in unity gain with a corner frequency compensation be used if the ADA4666-2 must drive a load at 10 kHz. An active filter requires an op amp with a unity-gain exceeding 50 pF. This compensation is particularly important in bandwidth that is at least 100 times greater than the product of the unity-gain configuration, which is the worst case for the corner frequency, f stability.

The resistors and capacitors are also important in determining the perfor- A quick and easy way to stabilize the op amp for capacitive load mance over manufacturing tolerances, time, and temperature. drive is by adding a series resistor, RISO, between the amplifier At least 1% or better tolerance resistors and 5% or better output terminal and the load capacitance, as shown in Figure 83. tolerance capacitors are recommended. RISO isolates the amplifier output and feedback network from Figure 82 shows the frequency response of the low-pass Sallen- the capacitive load. However, with this compensation scheme, Key filter, where: the output impedance as seen by the load increases, and this reduces gain accuracy.
