Abstract:
A method for processing signals may include, in a conditionally-stable operational amplifier, shifting the gain curve of the conditionally-stable operational amplifier to a desired position, by buffering at least one output signal from at least one transconductance module within the conditionally-stable operational amplifier using a buffer. The desired position of the gain curve may be associated with a desired feedback factor. The shifting of the gain may take place without shifting a corresponding phase. The tuning of the buffer may be based on the desired position of the gain curve which is derived from feedback factor value(s) specified by an application. A phase corresponding to the desired position of the gain curve at 0 dB frequency may be greater than a threshold phase. The buffering may be tuned using at least one tunable wideband buffer so that the corresponding phase at 0 dB frequency remains higher than the threshold phase.
