A practical op-amp integrator often places a resistor in parallel with the feedback capacitor mainly to?

  • ALimit DC gain and reduce saturation from offsets
  • BIncrease DC gain to infinity
  • CRemove all negative feedback
  • DMake the circuit a comparator
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. Limit DC gain and reduce saturation from offsets
Explanation: The parallel resistor provides finite DC feedback, preventing tiny offsets and bias currents from integrating indefinitely and driving the output into saturation.
