Description:

The NTE918, NTE918M, and the NTE918SM are precision high speed operational amplifier designed for applications requiring wide bandwidth and high slew rate. These devices have internal unity gain frequency compensation. This considerably simplifies its application since no external components are necessary for operation. However, unlike most internally compensated amplifiers, external frequency compensation may be added for optimum performance. For inverting applications, feed forward compensation will boost the slew rate to over 150V/µs and almost 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 setting time to under 1µs.

The high speed and fast setting time of these OP amps make them useful in A/D converters, oscillators, active filters, sample and hold circuits, or general purpose amplifiers. These devices are easy to apply and offer an order of magnitude better AC performance than industry standards such as the NTE909 and NTE909D.
