Want to know more about how the design complexity on the output stage of signal generators is becoming a thing of the past? Check out this article that provides an understanding of how technology advancements and new components help reinvent the output stage in general-purpose signal generators.

The proposed design solution, including the ADA4870 high voltage output drive amplifier, solves the front-end design challenge of requiring discontinuous operation when setting the desired output signal due to the lack of a wide programmable range, as well as removing the need to produce the wide programmable range using discrete devices, which increases design complexity.
