A quick and easy way to stabilize the op amp for capacitive load 
drive is by adding a series resistor, R
ISO
, between the amplifier 
output terminal and the load capacitance, as shown in Figure 80. 
R
ISO
 isolates the amplifier output and feedback network from 
the capacitive load. However, with this compensation scheme, 
the output impedance as seen by the load increases, and this 
reduces gain accuracy.
