A practical op-amp has a slew rate of 0.5 V/microsecond. What is the largest sine-wave peak amplitude that can be reproduced at 10 kHz without slew-rate limiting, using SR = 2*pi*f*Vp?

  • AAbout 0.8 V
  • BAbout 8 V
  • CAbout 80 V
  • DAbout 800 V

Correct Answer: B. About 8 V
Explanation: Vp = SR/(2πf) = 0.5×10^6/(2π×10^4) ≈ 7.96 V, so about 8 V.
