The Catches: My first encounter with Current Feedback Op-Amp

So to say, I was evaluating a circuit given in manufacturer’s reference circuit, being young and naïve (ignorant too), I just get the parts and put it in together – most of the time the circuit works – but when debugging one particular non-working circuit – something was not working accordingly.
So it was the time that I look at the datasheet of that amp – and found out that it was current feedback op-amp – not the assumed typical voltage amp – it turns out to be that current feedback op-amp are generally faster – and the behaviour differs as well.
for more details refer to wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current-feedback_operational_amplifier
Lesson Learnt:
Textbook op-amp circuit is generally voltage feedback op-amp – and there are much more in the market then what offered in text book.
