Application note

An application note, based on the TS507, describes three compensation techniques for

solving stability issues when driving large capacitive loads. Two of them are briefly explained

search for AN2653.

3.1

Out-of-the-loop compensation technique

The first technique, named the out-of-the-loop compensation, uses an isolation resistor,

resistor isolates the op-amp feedback network from the capacitive load. This compensation

the resistive load value.

Figure 27.

Out-of-the-loop compensation schematics

To help implement the compensation, the abacus given in Figure 28 to Figure 29 provide the

the case of a voltage follower configuration with a load resistor of 10 k

Ω at 25°C.
