Figure 27. Precision High-Gain Differential Amplifier

The high gain, gain linearity, CMRR, and low TCVOS of the

OP77 make it possible to obtain performance not previously

available in single-stage, very high-gain amplifier applications.

Figure 28. Isolating Large Capacitive Loads

This circuit reduces maximum slew rate but allows driving

capacitive loads of any size without instability. Because the boon

resistor is inside the feedback loop, its effect on output

impedance is reduced to insignificance by the high open-loop

gain of the OP77.
