Output Impedance

Low output impedance of an op-amp is an important characteristic, making VOUT independent of the load current drawn from VDD. However, the precise output impedance of an op-amp is usually not specified.

Feedback decreases op-amp output impedance. ZIN’ = ZIN/(1+βA) which makes the op-amp more close to ideal. Recall that the ideal output impedance is zero.
