When selecting an operational amplifier (op amp) to implement a specific function in a circuit, one of the most challenging selection criteria is the output current or load driving capability. Most of the performance parameters of an op amp are usually clearly stated in the data sheet, performance graphs or application guide. Designers must consider the output current and other parameters of the op amp to meet the product performance specified in the data sheet. The output current varies greatly between devices provided by different semiconductor manufacturers, and even between different devices provided by the same manufacturer, which makes the design and application of op amps more complicated. This article will explain through some examples how to evaluate the driving capability of the circuit to be designed based on the performance parameters of the op amp, so as to help designers ensure that the product they choose has sufficient load driving capability in all cases.
