8.3 Device Functional Modes
8.3.1 Wideband, Noninverting Operation
The THS3125 and THS3122 are unity gain stable 130-MHz current-feedback operational amplifiers, designed to
operate from a ±5-V to ±15-V power supply.
Figure 37 shows the THS3125 in a noninverting gain of 2-V/V configuration used to generate the typical
characteristic curves. Most of the curves were characterized using signal sources with 50-Ω source impedance
and with measurement equipment that presents a 50-Ω load impedance.

Figure 37. Wideband, Noninverting Gain Configuration
Current-feedback amplifiers are highly dependent on the feedback resistor RF for maximum performance and
stability. Table 2 shows the optimal gain setting resistors RF and RG at different gains to give maximum
bandwidth with minimal peaking in the frequency response. Higher bandwidths can be achieved, at the expense
of added peaking in the frequency response, by using even lower values for RF. Conversely, increasing RF
decreases the bandwidth, but stability is improved.
