This document introduces a 30 nanosecond precision broadband amplifier settling time measurement method. This precision broadband amplifier has a 30 nanosecond settling time, which can introduce precision while maintaining high speed operation. The amplifier's DC and AC specifications approach or equal previous devices at significantly lower cost while saving power.
The document introduces the LT1813 dual operational amplifier, highlighting its 30ns settling time to 0.1% for a 5V step, low offset voltage of 0.5mV, and high DC gain. It explains that traditional measurement methods using standard oscilloscopes often yield misleading results due to overdrive recovery issues and input pulse aberrations.
| Offset Voltage | 0.5mV |
|---|---|
| Settling Time | 30ns/0.1% |
| Slew Rate | 750V/ms |
| Gain-Bandwidth | 100MHz |
The output settles to 0.1% within 30ns for a 5V step.
Standard oscilloscopes suffer from overdrive recovery issues, and pulse generators often lack the required flat-top amplitude stability.
