[sdiy] dragging down op-amp CV output?

[Roman Sowa]

Sure it is better to keep everything that goes outside on separate 
buffer in separate chip, but you have to evaluate if your circuit is so 
well-thought in every aspect that double buffering will not become silly 
overkill. If you have spare opamp in the package, just go for it, 
there's no quesion about it. If it takes another chip to add, especially 
in limited space, I would call it unncesary waste.

As for ESD and who-knows-what type of events you mention, you have to 
deal with them separately, and not by adding more opamps. Suppression 
diode does the work here.
