Description
The RHF43B is a precision bipolar operational
amplifier available in a ceramic 8-pin flat package
and in die form. ln addition to its low offset
voltage, rail-to-rail feature and wide supply
voltage, the RHF43B is designed for increased
tolerance to radiation. Its intrinsic ELDRS-free
rad-hard design allows this product to be used in
space applications and in applications operating
in harsh environments.

At low frequencies, the RHF43B can be used in a low gain configuration as shown in
Figure 23. At lower frequencies, the stability is not affected by the value of the gain, which
can be set close to 1 V/V (0 dB), and is reduced to its simplest expression G1=1+Rfb/Rg.
Therefore, an R-C cell is added in the gain network so that the gain is increased (up to 5) at
higher frequencies (where the stability of the amplifier could be affected). At higher
frequencies, the gain becomes G2=1+Rfb/(Rg//R).

Rg becomes a complex impedance. The closed-loop gain features a variation in frequency
and can be expressed as:
where a pole appears at 1/2πRC and a zero at G1/2π(G1R+Rfb)C. The frequency can be
plotted as shown in Figure 24.
