Current feedback operational amplifiers: a tutorial
In a didactic approach, the amplifying properties of an inverter stage using a current feedback operational amplifier (COA) and one using a voltage feedback operational amplifier (VOA) are compared. Then, following a discussion of COA modelling, the frequency and transient responses of a COA non-inverter stage are analysed.
