A way of reducing the gain peaking is by adding a feedback capacitance C
F
in parallel with R
2
. This introduces
another pole in the system and prevents the formation of pairs of complex conjugate poles which cause the gain
to peak. Figure 48 shows the effect of C
F
on the frequency response of the circuit. Adding a capacitance of 2 pF
removes the peak, while a capacitance of 5 pF creates a much lower pole and reduces the bandwidth
excessively.

AUDIO PREAMPLIFIER WITH BAND PASS FILTERING
With low input referred voltage noise, low supply voltage and current, and a low harmonic distortion, the LMV796
family is ideal for audio applications. Its wide unity gain bandwidth allows it to provide large gain for a wide range
of frequencies and it can be used to design a preamplifier to drive a load of as low as 600Ω with less than 0.01%
distortion. Two amplifier circuits are shown in Figure 49 and Figure 50. Figure 49 is an inverting amplifier, with a
10 kΩ feedback resistor, R
2
, and a 1kΩ input resistor, R
1
, and hence provides a gain of −10. Figure 50 is a non-
inverting amplifier, using the same values of R
1
and R
2
, and provides a gain of 11. In either of these circuits, the
coupling capacitor C
C1
decides the lower frequency at which the circuit starts providing gain, while the feedback
capacitor C
F
decides the frequency at which the gain starts dropping off. Figure 51 shows the frequency
response of the inverting amplifier with different values of C
F
.
