Load Capacitance Effect

Load Capacitance Effect: Capacitance connected at the output of an operational amplifier is termed Load Capacitance Effect (CL). Figure 15-20 shows that CL is in series with the op-amp output resistance…

Effect of Internal Transistor Capacitance

Effect of Internal Transistor Capacitance: As we know already that at high frequencies, the coupling and bypass capacitors act as short circuit due to their low reactance and hence the…

Transition and Diffusion Capacitance

Transition and Diffusion Capacitance: Transition and Diffusion Capacitance - Electronic devices are inherently sensitive to very high frequencies. Most shunt capacitive effects that can be ignored at lower frequencies due…

Stray Capacitance Effects

Stray Capacitance Effects: Stray Capacitance Effects (Cs) at the input terminals of an operational amplifier effectively introduces an additional phase-lag network in the feedback loop, (see Fig. 15-17), thus making…

Capacitance Voltage Dividers

Capacitance Voltage Dividers: Capacitance voltage dividers are ideal for measurement of fast rising voltages and pulses. The capacitance ratio is independent of the frequency, if their leakage resistance is high…
