Load impedance
Output also depends on the circuit load impedance. This may again seem obvious, but
there is an erroneous belief that because feedback reduces the output impedance of an
op-amp in proportion to the ratio of open- to closed-loop gains, it should be capable of
driving very low load resistors. Well of course to an extent it is, but Ohms Law is not
so easily flouted and a low output resistance can only be driven to a low output voltage
swing, depending entirely on the current drive capability of the output stage. The
maximum output current that can be obtained from most devices is limited by package
