The out of loop resistive compensation is a bit confusing to me. We add a resistor to essentially slow down the op amp which prevents it from ringing.
But when one says "... driving a capacitive load" what one really means is driving a capacitive reactive load? Because if we are driving a low pass filter the resistor also compensates. So really the issue with op amps is purely capacitive loads and is what is meant by the terminology?
So as long as the impedance of the load is not close to being purely capacitive, even if it uses large capacitors, it is not considered a capacitive load?
e.g., 10k resistor in series with 1u is fine but driving a 1n capacitor directly is much different?
