What is the usual remedy for a follower oscillating into a capacitive load?

  • A.A higher operating current in the device
  • B.A small series resistor at the output
  • C.A larger emitter resistor to earth
  • D.A capacitor from base to earth

Answer: B

A series resistor of a few tens of ohms damps the resonance between the inductive output impedance and the load capacitance, at the cost of a little output impedance. A larger emitter resistor and a higher current change the operating point without damping anything, and a base capacitor would reduce the bandwidth from the wrong end. Damping a resonance means adding loss where the resonant current flows, and here that is in series with the output.
