4.24 As Figure 4.23, but with the input resistor raised to 50 MQ. The poor
performance is the fault of the designer, not the circuit
Raising the op-amp supply rails to ± 15v resulted in an output virtually as
good as in Figure 4.23. Clearly properly applied, bootstrapping can raise
the input impedance at dc and up to a frequency determined by the op-
amp's performance, to such a high level that a 100 MQ source resistance
results in no loss in amplitude, i.e. to an input impedance of 10 GQ or
more.
As a matter of interest, the circui ...
