Bandwidth and Slew Rate
For those cases where bandwidth reduction is desired, for
example, broadband noise reduction, an external capacitor
connected between Terminals 1 and 8 can reduce the open
loop -3dB bandwidth. The slew rate will, however, also be
proportionally reduced by using this additional capacitor.
Thus, a 20% reduction in bandwidth by this technique will
also reduce the slew rate by about 20%.
Figure 5 shows the typical settling time required to reach
1mV or 10mV of the final value for various levels of large
signal inputs for the voltage follower and inverting unity gain
amplifiers.

The exceptionally fast settling time characteristics are largely
due to the high combination of high gain and wide bandwidth
of the CA3140; as shown in Figure 6.
Input Circuit Considerations
As mentioned previously, the amplifier inputs can be driven
below the Terminal 4 potential, but a series current limiting
resistor is recommended to limit the maximum input terminal
current to less than 1mA to prevent damage to the input
protection circuitry.
Moreover, some current limiting resistance should be
provided between the inverting input and the output when
