Chapter 2 Problem 2.126

Question

For an amplifier having a slew rate of 60 V/s, what is the highest frequency at which a 20-V peak-to-peak sine wave can be produced at the output? 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 (Vomax). This problem illustrates the point by considering the use of an op amp with ft = 2 MHz, SR = 1 V/s, and Vomax = 10 V in the design of a noninverting amplifier with a nominal gain of 10. Assume a sine-wave input with peak amplitude Vi. (a) If Vi = 0.5 V, what is the maximum frequency before the output distorts? (b) If f = 20 kHz, what is the maximum value of Vi before the output distorts? (c) If Vi = 50 mV, what is the useful frequency range of operation? (d) If f = 5 kHz, what is the useful input voltage range?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 2 problem number 126 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: For an amplifier having a slew rate of 60 V/s, what is the highest frequency at which a 20-V peak-to-peak sine wave can be produced at the output? 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 (Vomax). This problem illustrates the point by considering the use of an op amp with ft = 2 MHz, SR = 1 V/s, and Vomax = 10 V in the design of a noninverting amplifier with a nominal gain of 10.

(b) If f = 20 kHz, what is the maximum value of Vi before the output distorts? (c) If Vi = 50 mV, what is the useful frequency range of operation? (d) If f = 5 kHz, what is the useful input voltage range?
From the textbook chapter Operational Amplifiers you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
