Note that Zout in most cases can be ... | FWIW,an ideal Zout of an Op Amp is 0 and gain=∞
A practical Op Amp is around 300 Ω if open loop and when closed loop Zout is reduced by dividing the open loop gain then multiply by closed loop gain. So it is very low until it saturates internally.
then Z6 is just R3//R4 since Vout is same impedance as ground. |
