PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 6-3 shows the configuration that can be used to increase the gain of the LMP8601.
Ri creates positive feedback from the output pin to the input of the buffer amplifier. The positive feedback increases the gain. The increased gain Gi for the LMP8601 becomes:
For the LMP8602:
And for the LMP8603:
From this equation, for a desired value of the gain, the LMP8601 required value of Ri is calculated with:
For the LMP8602:
And for the LMP8603 with:
Note that from the equation for the gain Gi, for large gains, Ri approaches 100kΩ. In this case, the denominator in the equation becomes close to zero. In practice, for large gains, the denominator is determined by tolerances in the value of the external resistor Ri and the internal 100kΩ resistor. In this case, the gain becomes very inaccurate. If the denominator becomes equal to zero, the system becomes unstable. TI recommends to limit the application of this technique to gain values of 50 or smaller.
