FEEDBACK CAPACITOR IMPROVES RESPONSE
For optimum settling time and stability with higher impedance
feedback networks (R
F
> 50kΩ), it may be necessary to add
a feedback capacitor across the feedback resistor, R
F
, as
shown in Figure 12. This capacitor compensates for the zero
created by the feedback network impedance and the input
capacitance of the OPA567 (and any parasitic layout capaci-
tance). The effect becomes more significant with higher
impedance networks.
The size of the capacitor needed is estimated using the
equation:
R
IN
• C
IN
= R
F
• C
F
where C
IN
is the sum of the input capacitance of the OPA567
plus the parasitic layout capacitance.
To appropriately determine required heatsink area, required
power dissipation should be calculated and the relationship
between power dissipation and thermal resistance should be
considered to minimize shutdown conditions and allow for
proper long-term operation (junction temperature of 125°C).
Once the heatsink area has been selected, worst-case load
conditions should be tested to ensure proper thermal protec-
tion.
For applications with limited board size, refer to Figure 11 for
the approximate thermal resistance relative to the number of
thermal vias. The QFN-12 package is well suited for continu-
ous power levels, as shown in Figure 10. Higher power levels
may be achieved in applications with a low on/off duty cycle.
