terminals, can exceed the inherent drift of the amplifier
unless proper care is exercised. Air currents should be
minimized, package leads should be short, the two input
leads should be close together and maintained at the same
temperature.
The circuit shown to measure offset voltage is also used
as the burn-in configuration for the LT1028/LT1128.

Unity-Gain Buffer Applications (LT1128 Only)
When RF ≤ 100Ω and the input is driven with a fast, large-
signal pulse (>1V), the output waveform will look as
shown in the pulsed operation diagram.

During the fast feedthrough-like portion of the output, the
input protection diodes effectively short the output to the
input and a current, limited only by the output short-circuit
protection, will be drawn by the signal generator. With RF
≥ 500Ω, the output is capable of handling the current
requirements (IL ≤ 20mA at 10V) and the amplifier stays
in its active mode and a smooth transition will occur.
As with all operational amplifiers when RF > 2k, a pole will
be created with RF and the amplifier’s input capacitance,
creating additional phase shift and reducing the phase
margin. A small capacitor (20pF to 50pF) in parallel with RF
will eliminate this problem.
Frequency Response
The LT1028’s Gain, Phase vs Frequency plot indicates that
the device is stable in closed-loop gains greater than +2 or
–1 because phase margin is about 50° at an open-loop
gain of 6dB. In the voltage follower configuration phase
margin seems inadequate. This is indeed true when the
output is shorted to the inverting input and the noninvert-
ing input is driven from a 50Ω source impedance. How-
ever, when feedback is through a parallel R-C network
(provided CF < 68pF), the LT1028 will be stable because of
interaction between the input resistance and capacitance
and the feedback network. Larger source resistance at the
noninverting input has a similar effect. The following
voltage follower configurations are stable:

Another configuration which requires unity-gain stability
is shown below. When CF is large enough to effectively
short the output to the input at 15MHz, oscillations can
occur. The insertion of RS2 ≥ 500Ω will prevent the
LT1028 from oscillating. When RS1 ≥ 500Ω, the additional
noise contribution due to the presence of RS2 will be
minimal. When RS1 ≤ 100Ω, RS2 is not necessary, be-
cause RS1 represents a heavy load on the output through
the CF short. When 100Ω < RS1 < 500Ω, RS2 should match
RS1 . For example, RS1 = RS2 = 300Ω will be stable. The
noise increase due to RS2 is 40%.
