In designing with op amps one has to check the limitations on the voltage and frequency ranges of operation of the closed-loop amplifier, imposed by the op-amp finite bandwidth (ft), slew rate (SR), and output saturation (Vo max). Consider the use of an op amp with ftt = 2 MHz, SR = 1 V/µs, and V0 max = 10 V in the design of a non-inverting amplifier with a nominal gain of 10. Assume a sine-wave input with peak amplitude Vi. If f = 20 kHz, what is the maximum value of Vi before the output distorts? |

B. | 0.795 V |
C. | 1.192 V |
D. | 1.590 V |
Answer» C. 1.192 V | |
