Figure 44. Small Signal Response of AD822 as
Unity Gain Follower Driving 350 pF
Figure 45 is a plot of capacitive load that results in a 20° phase
margin vs. noise gain for the AD822. Noise gain is the inverse of
the feedback attenuation factor provided by the feedback
network in use.

CAPACITIVE LOAD FOR 20° PHASE MARGIN (pF)
AD822
Figure 46 shows a method for extending capacitance load drive
capability for a unity gain follower. With these component
values, the circuit drives 5000 pF with a 10% overshoot.
