LT1097 UUWUAPPLICATIONS INFORMATION The availability of the compensation terminal permits the use protection diodes effectively short the output to the input of feedforward frequency compensation to enhance slew during slewing, and a current, limited only by the output rate. The voltage follower feedforward scheme bypasses the short circuit protection will flow through the diodes. amplifier’s gain stages and slews at nearly 10V/µs. The use of a feedback resistor, as shown in the voltage The inputs of the LT1097 are protected with back-to-back follower feedforward diagram, is recommended because diodes. In the voltage follower configuration, when the this resistor keeps the current below the short circuit limit, input is driven by a fast, large signal pulse (>1V), the input resulting in faster recovery and settling of the output.
