performance curve “Small-Signal Overshoot vs Capacitive
Load.” In unity-gain configurations, capacitive load drive
can be improved by inserting a small (10Ω to 20Ω) resistor,
R
S
, in series with the output, as shown in Figure 5. This
significantly reduces ringing while maintaining dc perfor-
mance for purely capacitive loads. However, if there is a
resistive load in parallel with the capacitive load, a voltage
divider is created, introducing a dc error at the output and
slightly reducing the output swing. The error introduced is
proportional to the ratio R
S
/R
L
, and is generally negligible.

DRIVING A/D CONVERTERS
The OPA344 and OPA345 series op amps are optimized for
driving medium-speed sampling A/D converters. The
OPA344 and OPA345 op amps buffer the A/D’s input
capacitance and resulting charge injection while providing
signal gain.
Figures 6 shows the OPA344 in a basic noninverting con-
figuration driving the ADS7822. The ADS7822 is a 12-bit,
micro-power sampling converter in the MSOP-8 package.
When used with the low-power, miniature packages of the
OPA344, the combination is ideal for space-limited, low-
power applications. In this configuration, an RC network at
the A/D’s input can be used to filter charge injection.
Figure 7 shows the OPA2344 driving an ADS7822 in a
speech bandpass filtered data acquisition system. This small,
low-cost solution provides the necessary amplification and
signal conditioning to interface directly with an electret
microphone. This circuit will operate with V
S
= +2.7V to
+5V with less than 500µA quiescent current.
