APPLICATION NOTES
Driving Capacitive Loads
The SGM805x family is optimized for bandwidth and speed, not
for driving capacitive loads. Output capacitance will create a
pole in the amplifier’s feedback path, leading to excessive
peaking and potential oscillation. If dealing with load
capacitance is a requirement of the application, the two
strategies to consider are (1) using a small resistor in series
with the amplifier’s output and the load capacitance and (2)
reducing the bandwidth of the amplifier’s feedback loop by
increasing the overall noise gain.
Figure 1 shows a unity gain follower using the series resistor
strategy. The resistor isolates the output from the capacitance
and, more importantly, creates a zero in the feedback path that
compensates for the pole created by the output capacitance.

CMOS Operational Amplifiers
For the high speed operational amplifier, soldering the part to
the board directly is strongly recommended. Try to keep the
high frequency big current loop area small to minimize the EMI
(electromagnetic interfacing).

Power-Supply Bypassing and Layout
The SGM805x family operates from either a single +2.7V to
+5.5V supply or dual ±1.35V to ±2.75V supplies. For
single-supply operation, bypass the power supply +V_S with a
0.1µF ceramic capacitor which should be placed close to the
+V_S pin. For dual-supply operation, both the +V_S and the -V_S
supplies should be bypassed to ground with separate 0.1µF
ceramic capacitors. 2.2µF tantalum capacitor can be added for
better performance.
Good PC board layout techniques optimize performance by
decreasing the amount of stray capacitance at the op amp’s
inputs and output. To decrease stray capacitance, minimize
trace lengths and widths by placing external components as
close to the device as possible. Use surface-mount components
whenever possible.

Grounding
A ground plane layer is important for high speed circuit design.
The length of the current path speed currents in an inductive
ground return will create an unwanted voltage noise. Broad
ground plane areas will reduce the parasitic inductance.
Input-to-Output Coupling
To minimize capacitive coupling, the input and output signal
traces should not be parallel. This helps reduce unwanted
positive feedback.
