I am so used to using op-amps to do all my amplification, when would it be appropriate to actually do BJT etc.. transistor amplifiers?
If possible, you should put the buffer inside the feedback loop. You will get better linearity (less distortion).Just inquiring for future design knowledge.
So why not just op-amp into a buffer stage? i.e. emitter follower buffer etc..? Or a power push/pull?
The component footprint of an op-amp amplifier seems like it would almost always be less, so easier to stick with op-amp and just buffer output.
That seems to be the most popular choice.Aye, drives you through the cut-off regions. That is Class-AB yeah?
