[sdiy] Buffered question

[Mattias Rickardsson]

Hej Kristian! :-)

Your voltage follower is caller an "op-amp buffer" since it doesn't do
anything else than buffer the signal.

Amplifiers, mixers, comparators, and other op-amp applications also buffer
the signal, but that's not mentioned since their primary function is to
amplify, mix, compare, etc.

I hope I understood your question enough. God fortsättning och gott nytt år!
