large amount of current into the output node when required
by an out of range condition. The differential feedback
summing amplifier is connected directly to the output
terminals and has sufficient bandwidth to follow any fast
changes in output voltage. The feedback error voltage is
compared to the commanded reference voltage (DACOUT)
by two high speed comparators, I-Max and I-Min. The
other inputs of these
DACOUT as shown in Fig 6. If the error in output voltage
exceeds the offset in either direction the appropriate
MOSFET will be turned on to force current into or out of
the output node to correct the voltage error. The very low
value inductor (100nH) allows large amounts of current to
be forced into or out of the output node very quickly.
