for a 10V step thanks to its 500V/µs slew rate. The LT1217
is manufactured on Linear Technology’s proprietary
complementary bipolar process resulting in a low 1mA
quiescent current. To reduce power dissipation further,
the LT1217 can be turned off, eliminating the load current
and dropping the supply current to 350µA.

The LT1217 is excellent for driving cables and other low
impedance loads thanks to a minimum output drive cur-
rentof50mA.Operatingonanysuppliesfrom±5Vto±15V
allows the LT1217 to be used in almost any system. Like
other current feedback amplifiers, the LT1217 has high
