A high-performance current feedback amplifier circuit referred to as an operational current feedback amplifier is described in this paper. The technique employed involves the incorporation of the input circuit of the current feedback amplifier in the feedback loop of an operational amplifier to reduce the input impedance at the inverting terminal of the current feedback amplifier. The new circuit possesses the gain accuracy and bandwidth of the current feedback amplifier but realizes significant improvement in bandwidth accuracy and bandwidth gain-independence. Experimentally, using AD844s, an order of magnitude reduction in bandwidth variation with changing gain was achieved in the noninverting configuration and almost complete bandwidth invariance was realized in the inverting configuration.
