Practical Techniques to Avoid Instability Due to Capacitive Loading

Q: ADI has published a lot of information on dealing with capacitive loading and other stability issues in books, such as the amplifier seminar series, in earlier issues of Analog Dialogue, and in some design tools. But, I need a refresher—NOW.
A: OK. Here goes!
Capacitive loads often give rise to problems, in part because they can reduce the output bandwidth and slew rate, but mainly because the phase lag they produce in the op amp’s feedback loop can cause instability. Although some capacitive loading is inevitable, amplifiers are often subjected to sufficient capacitive loading to cause overshoots, ringing, and even oscillation. The problem is especially severe when large capacitive loads, such as LCD panels or poorly terminated coaxial cables, must be driven—but unpleasant surprises in precision low-frequency and dc applications can result as well.
As will be seen, the op amp is most prone to instability when it is configured as a unity-gain follower, either because (a) there is no attenuation in the loop, or (b) large common-mode swings, though not substantially affecting accuracy of the signal gain, can modulate the loop gain into unstable regions.
The ability of an op amp to drive capacitive loads is affected by several factors:
1.the amplifier’s internal architecture (for example, output impedance, gain and phase margin, internal compensation circuitry)
2.the nature of the load impedance
3.attenuation and phase shift of the feedback circuit, including the effects of output loads, input impedances, and stray capacitances.
Among the parameters cited above, the amplifier output impedance, represented by the output resistance, RO, is the one factor that most affects performance with capacitive loads. Ideally, an otherwise stable op amp with RO = 0 will drive any capacitive load without phase degradation.
To avoid sacrificing performance with light loads, most amplifiers are not heavily compensated internally for substantial capacitive loads, so external compensation techniques must be used to optimize those applications in which a large capacitive load at the output of the op amp must be handled. Typical applications include sample-and-hold amplifiers, peak detectors, and driving unterminated coaxial cables.
Capacitive loading, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, affects the open-loop gain in the same way, regardless of whether the active input is at the noninverting or the inverting terminal: the load capacitance, CL, forms a pole with the open-loop output resistance, RO. The loaded gain can be expressed as follows:
The –20 dB/decade slope and 90° lag contributed by the pole, added to the –20 dB slope and 90° contributed by the amplifier (plus any other existing lags), results in an increase in the rate of closure (ROC) to a value of at least 40 dB per decade, which, in turn, causes instability.
This note discusses typical questions about the effects of capacitive loads on the performance of some amplifier circuits, and suggests techniques to solve the instability problems they raise.
Q: So, different circuits call for different techniques?
A: Yes, absolutely! You’ll choose the compensation technique that best suits your design. Some examples are detailed below. For example, here’s a compensation technique that has the added benefit of filtering the op amp’s noise via an RC feedback circuit.
Figure 3 shows a commonly used compensation technique, often dubbed in-the-loop compensation. A small series resistor, Rx, is used to decouple the amplifier output from CL; and a small capacitor, Cf, inserted in the feedback loop, provides a high frequency bypass around CL.
To better understand this technique, consider the redrawn feedback portion of the circuit shown in Figure 4. VB is connected to the amplifier’s minus input.
