Figure 15b. Large-Scale Transient Response
Figures 16a and 16b display the output amplifier characteristics
driving a 5 mA to 10 mA load, a common situation found when
the reference is shared among multiple converters or is used to
provide a bipolar offset current.

Figure 17b. Output Response with Capacitive Load
Figures 18a and 18b display the crosstalk between output am-
plifiers. The top trace shows the output of A4, dc-coupled and
offset by 10 V, while the output of A3 is subjected to a 0 mA
to 10 mA load current step. The transient at A4 settles in about
1 µs, and the load-induced offset is about 100 µV.

In some applications, a varying load may be both resistive and
capacitive in nature or be connected to the AD588 by a long
capacitive cable.
Figures 17a and 17b display the output amplifier characteristics
driving a 1,000 pF, 0 mA to 10 mA load.
