<strong>Op</strong> <strong>Amp</strong> Basics<br />

To clarify this point on bandwidth, a standard VFB op amp 6 dB/octave (20 dB/decade) slope has been<br />

added to Figure 1-18 for reference.<br />

Although there is no mention of the signifi cance of this within the text of the actual article, it nevertheless<br />

illustrates a popular application of CFB behavior, in the design of high speed programmable gain amplifi ers<br />

with relatively constant bandwidth.
