OPERATING CURRENT PROGRAMMABILITY (I
The input bias current, slew rate, gain bandwidth product,
output drive capability and total device power consumption
of both amplifiers can be simultaneously controlled and opti-
mized via the two programming pins I
I
The output set current (I
current sourced from pin 1 and establishes the class A bias-
ing current for the Darlington emitter follower output stage.
Using a single resistor from pin 1 to ground, as shown in Fig-
ure 6 , this current is equal to:
The output set current can be adjusted to optimize the
amount of current the output of the amplifier can sink to drive
load capacitance and for loads connected to V
mum output sinking current is approximately 10 times
