measuring the small-signal bandwidth of the LM6584 with
the RC load of Figure 4. When driving an RC load of 50nF
and 20Ω, the LM6584 has a unity gain frequency of 6.12MHz
with 41.5˚C of phase margin. If the load capacitor is in-
creased to 200nF and the resistance remains 20Ω, the unity
gain frequency is virtually unchanged: 6.05MHz with 42.9˚C
of phase margin.

This is easily shown by calculating how much output current
is required to slew a 50nF load capacitance at the LM6584
slew rate of 14V/µs:
700mA exceeds the maximum current specification for the
LM6584 and almost all other op amps, confirming that a

network is a gross simplification of what the actual imped-
ance is on a TFT panel. However, it does provide a useful
test for measuring the op amp’s transient response when
driving a large capacitive load. A low impedance MOSFET
driver applies a 5V square wave to V
current pulses in the RC network. Scope photos from this
circuit are shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7. Figure 6 shows
the test circuit generates positive and negative voltage
spikes with an amplitude of
both transients settle-out in approximately 2µs. As men-
tioned before, the speed at which these transients settle-out
is a function of the op amp’s peak output current. The I
trace in Figure 7 shows that the LM6584 can sink and source
peak currents of −310mA and 320mA. This ability to supply
large values of output current makes the LM6584 extremely
well suited for V

Illumination in a TFT display, also referred to as grayscale, is
set by a series of discrete voltage levels that are applied to
each LCD pixel. These voltage levels are generated by
resistive DAC networks that reside inside each of the column
driver ICs. For example, a column driver with 64 Grayscale
