buffer amplifier
A buffer amplifier (sometimes simply called a buffer) is one that provides electrical impedance transformation from one circuit to another. Two main types of buffer exist: the voltage buffer and the current buffer.
==Voltage buffer==
A voltage buffer amplifier is used to transfer a voltage from a first circuit, having a high output impedance level, to a second circuit with a low input impedance level. The interposed buffer amplifier prevents the second circuit from loading the first circuit unacceptably and interfering with its desired operation. In the ideal voltage buffer in the diagram, the input resistance is infinite, the output resistance zero (impedance of an ideal voltage source is zero). Other properties of the ideal buffer are: perfect linearity, regardless of signal amplitudes; and instant output response, regardless of the speed of the input signal.
If the voltage is transferred unchanged (the voltage gain ''Av'' is 1), the amplifier is a unity gain buffer; also known as a voltage follower because the output voltage ''follows'' or tracks the input voltage. Although the voltage gain of a voltage buffer amplifier may be (approximately) unity, it usually provides considerable current gain and thus power gain. However, it is commonplace to say that it has a gain of 1 (or the equivalent 0 dB), referring to the voltage gain.
As an example, consider a Thévenin source (voltage ''VA'', series resistance ''RA'') driving a resistor load ''RL''. Because of voltage division (also referred to as "loading") the voltage across the load is only ''VA RL / ( RL + RA )''. However, if the Thévenin source drives a unity gain buffer such as that in Figure 1 (top, with unity gain), the voltage input to the amplifier is ''VA'', and with ''no voltage division'' because the amplifier input resistance is infinite. At the output the dependent voltage source delivers voltage ''Av VA = VA'' to the load, again without voltage division because the output resistance of the buffer is zero. A Thévenin equivalent circuit of the combined original Thévenin source ''and'' the buffer is an ideal voltage source ''VA'' with zero Thévenin resistance.
