Re: apparent leanness of LM6172 (see Ehien)

Hi,

The answer is simple, assuming there are no Powersupply problems present (inadequate HF bypassing, insufficient Capacitance at LF), that the LM6172 unlike the OPA604 and even the 637 behaves as "straight wire with gain".

All the OPA's you mention have a distinct rise of distortion even in the audio band, the LM6172 remains basically the same up to a few 100KHz.

However, the Powersupply may be very well the reason, as the LM6172 has a much lower PSRR due to it's inherent design, so greater care is needed here than with classic "differential" Op-Amp's.
