An op-amp with a slew rate of 1 V/microsecond must reproduce a sine wave of peak amplitude 10 V without slew-rate limiting. The maximum frequency is approximately, using SR = 2πfVp?

  • A1.59 kHz
  • B15.9 kHz
  • C159 kHz
  • D1.59 MHz

Correct Answer: B. 15.9 kHz
Explanation: fmax = SR/(2πVp) = 10^6 V/s /(2π×10 V) ≈ 15.9 kHz.
