VOLTAGE FOLLOWER
Def: A voltage follower (also known as a buffer amplifier, unity-gain amplifier, or isolation amplifier) is an
op-amp circuit whose output voltage is equal to the input voltage.
 The voltage follower neither attenuates nor amplifies; it simply buffers the signal.
 A voltage follower circuit has a very high input impedance. This characteristic makes it a popular
choice in many different types of circuits that require isolation between the input and output signal.
