Example 4
For a multipole amplifier having a first pole at 3 MHz and a dc open-
loop gain of 60 dB is to be compensated for closed-loop gains as low as
unity by using additional capacitance at the circuit node at which the
pole is formed to reduce the frequency of the first pole. If the
frequency of the second pole is 15MHz and if it remains unchanged
while additional capacitance is introduced as mentioned, find the
frequency to which the first pole must be lowered so that the resulting
amplifier is stable for closed-loop gains as low as unity. By what factor
is the capacitance at the controlling node increased?
