Achieving good stability at low gains
At low frequencies, the RHF43B can be used in a low gain configuration as shown in
Figure 23. At lower frequencies, the stability is not affected by the value of the gain, which
can be set close to 1 V/V (0 dB), and is reduced to its simplest expression G1=1+Rfb/Rg.
Therefore, an R-C cell is added in the gain network so that the gain is increased (up to 5) at
higher frequencies (where the stability of the amplifier could be affected). At higher
frequencies, the gain becomes G2=1+Rfb/(Rg//R).

Rg becomes a complex impedance. The closed-loop gain features a variation in frequency

where a pole appears at 1/2πRC and a zero at G1/2π(G1R+Rfb)C. The frequency can be
plotted as shown in Figure 24.
