LMV551-Q1: Max Capacitive Load under Recommended Operating Conditions

Hi Basel,

Without compensation, the LMV551-Q1 should try to keep the cap loads below 100pF - this is mentioned in section 7.4.1.1 of the datasheet. With compensation, you can drive larger cap loads.

Do you have a particular circuit or application that we can assist with?

Hi Basil,

the LMV551 is a micropower OPAmp and is optimized for very low supply current and not for high capacitance drive capability. See section 7.4.1.1 and figure 1. So, I would strongly recommend to use a compensation method as shown in section 7.4.1.1.1 or 7.4.1.1.2.
