optimizing unity gain response

Internal frequency compensation of the THS404x was selected to provide very wideband performance yet still

maintain stability when operated in a noninverting unity gain configuration. When amplifiers are compensated

in this manner there is usually peaking in the closed loop response and some ringing in the step response for

very fast input edges, depending upon the application. This is because a minimum phase margin is maintained

for the G=+1 configuration. For optimum settling time and minimum ringing, a feedback resistor of 200

Ω should

be used as shown in Figure 68. Additional capacitance can also be used in parallel with the feedback resistance

if even finer optimization is required.
