Hello,

Is anyone familiar with any techniques for reducing overshoot in the pulse
response of a unity gain op amp follower configuration?

Thanks,
Jim

Need more detail! The simplest thing to do would be to put an RC filter
ahead of the op-amp:


___ |\
o------|___|----o-------|+\
| | >-o----o
| .--|-/ |
| | |/ |
--- | |
--- '-------'

But this depends on your source impedance being controlled, or being
guaranteed to be significantly less than your series resistance.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?

Yes :-)

Oh Lord, I apologize... I just couldn't resist ;-)

What opamp, what swing, and what speed?

If the overshoot is due to capacitive loading, you can insert a
resistor in series with the output, but in the feedback loop. This is
in the National apps.

If the amp itself has overshoot, I don't see any really good solution
unless it is externally compensated. I suppose you could divide the
signal by two and then set up the op amp for a gain of two. That would
increase the phase margin.
