LM118/LM218/LM318
Operational Amplifiers
General Description
The LM118 series are precision high speed operational am-
plifiers designed for applications requiring wide bandwidth
and high slew rate. They feature a factor of ten increase in
speed over general purpose devices without sacrificing DC
performance.
The LM118 series has internal unity gain frequency com-
pensation. This considerably simplifies its application since
no external components are necessary for operation. How-
ever, unlike most internally compensated amplifiers, exter-
nal frequency compensation may be added for optimum
performance. For inverting applications, feedforward com-
pensation will boost the slew rate to over 150V/ms and al-
most double the bandwidth. Overcompensation can be
used with the amplifier for greater stability when maximum
bandwidth is not needed. Further, a single capacitor can be
added to reduce the 0.1% settling time to under 1 ms.
The high speed and fast settling time of these op amps
make them useful in A/D converters, oscillators, active fil-
ters, sample and hold circuits, or general purpose amplifiers.
These devices are easy to apply and offer an order of mag-
nitude better AC performance than industry standards such
as the LM709.
The LM218 is identical to the LM118 except that the LM218
