What does an amplifier described as unity-gain stable guarantee?

  • A.A closed-loop gain of exactly one when connected as a follower
  • B.A bandwidth equal to its gain-bandwidth product
  • C.Freedom from oscillation with any load whatever
  • D.Adequate margin with the whole output fed back

Answer: D

Unity-gain stable means the internal compensation gives an adequate margin in the worst case, with a feedback fraction of one and hence the largest possible loop gain. It says nothing about the accuracy of a follower's gain, does not guarantee any particular bandwidth figure, and certainly does not cover any load - a capacitive load can destabilise the most carefully compensated device. A guarantee's exact scope matters, and this one covers the feedback fraction rather than the load.
