Components Functional Description
Prevents current from entering the amplifier's non-inverting input. This current may pass through to the load during

(1) Optional components dependent upon specific design requirements.
Optional External Component Interaction
The optional external components have specific desired functions. Their values are chosen to reduce the
bandwidth and eliminate unwanted high frequency oscillation. They may, however, cause certain undesirable
effects when they interact. Interaction may occur when the components produce reactions that are nearly equal
to one another. One example is the coupling capacitor, C
C
, and the compensation capacitor, C
f
. These two
components are low impedances at certain frequencies. They may couple signals from the input to the output.
Please take careful note of basic amplifier component functionality when selecting the value of these
components and their placement on a printed circuit board (PCB).
The optional external components shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, and described above, are applicable in both
single and split supply voltage configurations.
