This application note introduces a new power buffer that can drive non-linear or reactive loads. The buffer can isolate and drive almost any reactive load and also offers current limiting and thermal overload protection to protect the device against output fault conditions.
The document introduces the LT1010, a power buffer amplifier designed to isolate and drive almost any reactive load while offering current limiting and thermal overload protection. It addresses the need for driving analog signals into non-linear or reactive components like actuators and sample-hold circuits where standard amplifiers may fail.
| Current Limiting and Thermal Overload Protection | protect the device against output fault conditions |
|---|---|
| Acquisition Time (Sample-Hold) | 2us to 0.01% |
| Hold Settling Time | <100ns to 1mV |
| Aperture Time | 16ns |
The LT1010 can isolate and drive almost any reactive load.
It offers current limiting and thermal overload protection to protect against output fault conditions.
The LT1010 provides high capacitive load driving capability to achieve fast acquisition times in sample-hold designs.
