Operational amplifier designs will vary between manufacturers and products; despite this all operational amplifiers will have almost the same basic internal structure that consists of 3 stages: • A differential amplifier providing high input impedance, low noise amplification and typically a differential output. • A voltage amplifier providing a single pole frequency roll off, high voltage gain and typically a single ended output. • An output amplifier providing low output impedance, high current driving capability, current limiting and circuitry for short circuit protection.
