The LT1222 is a low noise, very high speed operational
amplifier with superior DC performance. The LT1222 is
stable in a noise gain of 10 or greater without compensa-
tion, or the part can be externally compensated for lower
closed-loop gain at the expense of lower bandwidth and
slew rate. It features reduced input offset voltage, lower
input bias currents, lower noise and higher DC gain than
devices with comparable bandwidth and slew rate. The
circuit is a single gain stage that includes proprietary DC
gain enhancement circuitry to obtain precision with high
speed. The high gain and fast settling time make the circuit
an ideal choice for data acquisition systems. The circuit is
also capable of driving capacitive loads which makes it
useful in buffer or cable driver applications. The compen-
sation node can also be used to clamp the output swing.
The LT1222 is a member of a family of fast, high perfor-
mance amplifiers that employ Linear Technology
Corporation’s advanced complementary bipolar process-
ing. For unity-gain stable applications the LT1220 can be
used, and for gains of 4 or greater the LT1221 can be used.
