ADI ADHV4710 power op-amp compensationPower op-amps have been around for a long time, but ADI has created one with a twist or two. ADHV4710 has a voltage feed-back analogue signal path but also a digital interface through which various limits can be set and parameters read. Architectural mods allow it to handle any load capacitance, and at full throttle it can drive ±52V at ±100mA, or ±1300V/μs into 1nF.
