Why is a unity-gain follower the hardest case for stability?

  • A.Its feedback network has the highest impedance
  • B.Its input impedance is highest in that configuration
  • C.Its output stage carries the largest current
  • D.Its loop gain is the full open-loop gain

Answer: D

With the whole output returned, the feedback fraction is one and the loop gain equals the open-loop gain, so unity loop gain occurs at the highest possible frequency. The network's impedance and the input impedance are not the issue, and the output current depends on the load. A device described as unity-gain stable has been compensated for exactly this worst case, which is why it is slower than an uncompensated one used at higher gain. The shared properties explain why these belong to one family, and the differences explain why more than one exists.
