INTRODUCTION

A buffer amplifier is one that provides electrical impedance

transformation from one circuit to another.
Two main types of buffer exist:
1. voltage buffer
2. current buffer
Voltage buffer having a high output impedance level to a low input
impedance level.
Current buffer having a low output impedance level to a high input
impedance level.

Objective
To design the amplifier as a buffer to achieve the
high open loop gain and a unity gain bandwidth
