    The sole reason for the existence of current feedback amplifier is the high bandwidth value possessed by them.

    Voltage feedback amplifiers (VFA) consist of an open-loop gain,which decreases at very low frequencies at the rate of about -20 dB/decade of frequency. However, the decrease in gain yields poor accuracy at high frequencies.

    Hence, it is clear that the voltage feedback amplifiers exhibit the tendency of losing the gain at high frequencies,whereas the current feedback amplifiers have a tendency of retaining its high gain at very high frequencies. Therefore, the rate of gain decrease is equal for both the amplifiers.
