Why does a compensated amplifier have less bandwidth at a given gain?

  • A.Its feedback fraction has been made smaller
  • B.Its input capacitance has been increased
  • C.Its open-loop response begins falling earlier
  • D.Its closed-loop gain has been reduced as well

Answer: C

Compensation moves a pole downward, so the open-loop gain starts to fall at a lower frequency and the closed-loop bandwidth at any chosen gain is correspondingly less. The closed-loop gain and the fraction are the designer's choice rather than consequences, and input capacitance is not what changes. Buying stability with bandwidth is the standard exchange, and it is why an uncompensated device is faster but usable only above some minimum gain.
