Driving Capacitive Loads
The OPA836 and OPA2836 can drive up to a nominal capacitive load of 2.2 pF on the output with no special
consideration. When driving capacitive loads greater than this, it is recommended to use a small resister (R
O
) in
series with the output as close to the device as possible. Without R
O
, capacitance on the output will interact with
the output impedance of the amplifier causing phase shift in the loop gain of the amplifier that will reduce the
phase margin. This will cause peaking in the frequency response and overshoot and ringing in the pulses
response. Interaction with other parasitic elements may lead to instability or oscillation. Inserting R
O
will isolate
the phase shift from the loop gain path and restore the phase margin; however, it will also limit the bandwidth.
Figure 71 shows the test circuit and shows the recommended values of R
O

Active Filters
The OPA836 and OPA2836 can be used to design active filters. Figure 73 and Figure 72 show MFB and Sallen-
Key circuits designed using FilterPro™ http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/filterpro.html to implement 2
nd
order low-pass butterworth filter circuits. Figure 74 shows the frequency response.
