For additional drive capability in unity-gain configurations, improve capacitive load drive by inserting a small,
10-Ω to 20-Ω resistor (R_ISO) in series with the output, as shown in Figure 42. This resistor significantly reduces
ringing while maintaining dc performance for purely capacitive loads. However, if there is a resistive load in
parallel with the capacitive load, a voltage divider is created, introducing a gain error at the output and slightly
reducing the output swing. The error introduced is proportional to the ratio R_ISO / R_L and is generally negligible at
low output levels. A high capacitive load drive makes the OPA196 well suited for applications such as reference
buffers, MOSFET gate drives, and cable-shield drives. The circuit shown in Figure 42 uses R_ISO to stabilize the
output of an op amp. R_ISO modifies the open-loop gain of the system for increased phase margin. Results using
the OPA196 are summarized in Table 3. For additional information on techniques to optimize and design using
this circuit, TI Precision Design TIDU032 details complete design goals, simulation, and test results.
