Compensating the Feedback Pole Attention to Source Impedances Minimizes Distortion–15V Since the OP275 is a very low distortion amplifier, careful atten- Figure 12. Unity Gain Follower tion should be given to source impedances seen by both inputs. As with many FET-type amplifiers, the p-channel JFETs in the +15V OP275’s input stage exhibit a gate-to-source capacitance that var- 10 ies with the applied input voltage. In an inverting configuration, F+ the inverting input is held at a virtual ground and, as such, does 0.1 F not vary with input voltage. Thus, since the gate-to-source voltage 10pF is constant, there is no distortion due to input capacitance modu- lation. In noninverting applications, however, the gate-to-source VIN4.99k 4.99k voltage is not constant. The resulting capacitance modulation 28– can cause distortion above 1 kHz if the input impedance is 1/21V greater than 2 k and unbalanced.

A small performance of the OP275 in noninverting applications. The best capacitor, CFB, in parallel and RFB eliminates this problem. way to prevent unwanted distortion is to ensure that the parallel By setting RS (CS + CIN) = RFBCFB, the effect of the feedback combination of the feedback and gain setting resistors (R pole is completely removed.
