Odd Circuit, OP Amp over OP Amp

Started by Rich K. October 9, 2013
Why do you think the op. used this topology over the simple circuit 1 
example?  I thank you for your opinions in advance.

It may be just a scheme to improve _net_ loop-gain-bandwidth-product. I have a paper somewhere on such multi-OpAmp schemes. I'll post when I find it. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson | mens | | Analog Innovations | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | San Tan Valley, AZ 85142 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

Loop-gain-bandwidth improvement.

We've seen this before, it is a minimal phase passband phase deviation sche= me. Recalling that a phase lag in the feedback network requires a compensat= ing phase lead in the forward amplifier response, the idea is to obtain a f= lat phase response over as much as the passband as possible ( hence the mat= ching OAs with identical gains).

That's the trick where they used a dual, and put the input of the other op amp in series with the feedback? It was in a PMI app note back around then. I think it also wound up in the OP227 datasheet, or maybe it was the OP270. Cute idea that I've never actually needed to use.

Somewhere in my files, now all boxed up for the move :-(, I have an IEEE paper on several configurations that improve effective GBW for integrators. I'll post when I find it. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson | mens | | Analog Innovations | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | San Tan Valley, AZ 85142 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.
