In Chapter 8, we examined some simple discrete amplifier circuits. We noted that these amplifiers include characteristics of input resistance, output resistance, voltage gain, output swing, and distortion. In particular, these amplifiers have limitations of output swing when connected to a low-resistance load at Vout, and distortion with large output voltage swings.
Many of the limitations of discrete amplifiers can be reduced by using integrated circuit (IC) operational amplifiers. Also, IC amplifiers take less space and can provide lower current draw than discrete ...
