- Modern op amps typically have output resistances anywhere from
- 10's to 100's of ohms, open loop. As an eariler poster has
- suggested, however, the *closed loop* impedance of the op amp
- will be much lower than this, perhaps by as much as a facter
- of a hundred thousand (at d.c., that is). The impedance will
- increase with frequency.
-
- In any case, this is a commonly spec'd characteristic. Just
- look up a datasheet from Analog Devices or T.I.
