This research examines and discusses the feasibility of utilizing Composite Operational Amplifiers to overcome the inherent inability of IC op-amps to simultaneously perform in a very fast, very accurate mode. Composite operational amplifiers, known to provide enhanced stability, decreased sensitivity to circuit element variations, and an extended operating frequency range, can now be used to generate and operational amplifier that concurrently exhibits both high speed and high accuracy. The composite op-amp is the only generalized method known to produce and op-amp that is both very fast and very accurate. This has never before been achievable in a simple individual entity. (Author)
