- I can not give you an application-note but any rule of tumps to realize
- a regulator with very low output-resistance:
-
- 1. DC
- -----
- The most important thing is remote-sensing from +DC and GND from
- powered device back to the regulator. The openloopgain of regula-
- tor-amplifier must be very high. This is by using of modern opams
- no problem.
-
- 2. AC (Low-Frequency)
- ---------------------
- For high speed regulation it's important to use an opamp with
- a high gbw and also a high slewrate to result of a low output-
- impedance.
-
- 2. AC (High-Frequency)
- ----------------------
- For a low impedance with highfrequency you must close a capacitor
- very near parallel to the powered device. The capacitor must have
- a very very low inductance.

- I know that's easy said. To build this circuit is not easy. I constructed
- much power-supply-devices, but no one with such less impedance. I wish you
- good luck and let e-mail me if you have a solution. I am interested.
