GENERAL LAYOUT GUIDELINES
For best operational device performance, good printed circuit board (PCB) layout practices are recommended.
Low-loss, 0.1-µF bypass capacitors should be connected between each supply pin and ground, placed as close
to the device as possible. A single bypass capacitor from V+ to ground is applicable to single-supply applications.
PHASE-REVERSAL PROTECTION
The OPA4188 has an internal phase-reversal protection. Many op amps exhibit a phase reversal when the input
is driven beyond its linear common-mode range. This condition is most often encountered in noninverting circuits
when the input is driven beyond the specified common-mode voltage range, causing the output to reverse into
the opposite rail. The OPA4188 input prevents phase reversal with excessive common-mode voltage. Instead,
the output limits into the appropriate rail. This performance is shown in Figure 40.

CAPACITIVE LOAD AND STABILITY
The OPA4188 dynamic characteristics have been optimized for a range of common operating conditions. The
combination of low closed-loop gain and high capacitive loads decreases the amplifier phase margin and can
lead to gain peaking or oscillations. As a result, heavier capacitive loads must be isolated from the output. The
simplest way to achieve this isolation is to add a small resistor (for example, R
OUT
equal to 50 Ω) in series with
the output. Figure 41 and Figure 42 illustrate graphs of small-signal overshoot versus capacitive load for several
values of R
OUT
. Also, refer to the Applications Report, Feedback Plots Define Op Amp AC Performance
(SBOA015), available for download from www.ti.com, for details of analysis techniques and application circuits.
