Introduction: 

  • In current feedback amplifier architectures, gain and bandwidth are independent, so increasing the gain doesn't reduce the bandwidth. The high slew rate and high current output supports wide full power bandwidth with better high-frequency distortion performance compared to voltage feedback amplifiers.

Applications: 

Oscilloscope & Digitizers

Arbitrary Waveform Generator

Semiconductor Test & ATE

Semiconductor Manufacturing

Benchtop Digital Multimeter(DMM)

Power Analyzer

LCR Meter & Impedance Analyzer

Medical Ultrasound

In-vitro diagnostics

MRI

Electrosurgery
