Summary

Howard K. Schoenwetter High accuracy settling time measurements (1983)

To minimize the settling time of the amplifier and switch circuits, Schottky clipping diodes (not shown) are employed to limit the input and output signals of the amplifier at nodes and , as well as its gain, when is large. As with most operational amplifiers with a gain-bandwidth product larger than about 500 MHz, amplifier (and, therefore, the test set) experiences significant recovery time effects when exercised over a wide range of operating conditions. Therefore, the test circuit shown in Fig. 2 is preferred over the above circuit for recovery time measurements on voltage-output devices.
