3.2 In-the-loop-compensation technique
The second technique is called in-the-loop-compensation technique, because the
additional components (a resistor and a capacitor) used to improve the stability are inserted
in the feedback loop (see Figure 30).
Figure 30. In-the-loop compensation schematics
This compensation method allows (by a good choice of compensation components) the
original pole caused by the capacitive load to be compensated. Stability is thus improved.
The main drawback of this circuit is the reduction of the output swing, because the isolation
resistor is in the signal path.
Table 6 shows the best compensation components for different ranges of load capacitors
(with R
L
= 10 kΩ) in voltage follower configuration.
