High Slew Rate Operational Amplifier

A high-performance, monolithic operational amplifier has been designed and developed. It incorporates the latest state-of-the-art circuit design techniques and fabrication technology to achieve the best performance available with current production processes. Special attention was placed on achieving high slew rate and fast settling time. Unity gain slew rates of over 2500 vmicro sec and settling times of under 50 ns were achieved at power dissipation levels of approximately 100 mW. The design was kept as simple as possible to eliminate excess parasitic capacitances and to be operated at the optimum power-speed condition for a given application
