AD8033/AD8034
Rev. D | Page 21 of 24
When selecting components, the common-mode input capacitance
must be taken into consideration.
Filter cutoff frequencies can be increased beyond 1 MHz using the
AD8033/AD8034 but limited open-loop gain and input impedance
begin to interfere with the higher Q stages. This can cause early
roll-off of the overall response.
Additionally, the stop-band attenuation decreases with decreasing
open-loop gain.
Keeping these limitations in mind, a 2-pole Sallen-Key Butterworth
filter with f
C
= 4 MHz can be constructed that has a relatively
low Q of 0.707 while still maintaining 15 dB of attenuation an
octave above f
C
and 35 dB of stop-band attenuation. The filter
and response are shown in Figure 60 and Figure 61, respectively.

Figure 62. Wideband Photodiode Preamp
The stable bandwidth attainable with this preamp is a function
of R
F
, the gain bandwidth product of the amplifier, and the total
capacitance at the summing junction of the amplifier, including
C
S
and the amplifier input capacitance. R
F
and the total capacitance
produce a pole in the loop transmission of the amplifier that
can result in peaking and instability. Adding C
F
creates a zero
in the loop transmission that compensates for the effect of the
pole and reduces the signal bandwidth. It can be shown that the
signal bandwidth resulting in a 45°phase margin (f
(45)
) is defined
by the expression

The frequency response in this case shows about 2 dB of
peaking and 15% overshoot. Doubling C
F
and cutting the
bandwidth in half results in a flat frequency response, with
about 5% transient overshoot.
