I know that most operational amplifiers can tolerate the output being shorted to ground. Many can even do that for unlimited time and regardless of the output voltage according to many data sheets.
What if the output is shorted to something else than ground? An example would be that the output of the op amp is 0 V and it is shorted to either the positive or negative supply rail. What will happen then?
I guess that the answer depends on the op amp output stage and current protection circuit. I need to find a high precision op amp that can tolerate this situation - or make an external circuit to solve the problem. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance
