We analog designers take great pains to make our amplifiers stable when we design them, but there are many situations that cause them to oscillate in the real world. Various types of loads can make ...

I have addressed this topic before, but we’ll take a little deeper look at it this time. First off, we are not going to discuss the loop gain situation of Figure 1, even though trying to cope with a ...

The stability of high-unity-gain-bandwidth op amps is susceptible to stray capacitances. Instability doesn't first show up as oscillation, but rather pronounced overshoot and ringing. Op amps such as ...
