It’s common practice to series-terminatean op amp to match theimpedance of the load. This practicecauses a 3-dB loss of output power in thetermination resistance, however (Figure1). Newer op amps ...

Some operational amplifiers (op amps) have an inductive open-loop output impedance, which can be more complex to stabilize than op amps with resistive output impedances. One of the most common ...

When used with other blocks and modules, a new approach to modeling operational-amplifier output impedance behavior can provide a more realistic overall behavioral model. Simulating the behavior of a ...
