In 2008, Bob Pease exchanged e-mails with Linear Technology’s Mark Thoren, me, and a few other friends. The subject was how an amplifier will oscillate if you put a capacitive load on it. Bob knew ...

Increased electrification in vehicles is changing the way driver assistance systems are designed, says Yang Wang, with high-side switches increasingly used for resistive, capacitive and inductive ...

Oscillation and peaking occur primarily when op amps that are not properly compensated are used to drive large capacitive loads. The other results from this situation are lower bandwidth and lower ...
