1. Op Amp Nonidealities (2) Section 8.4

2. Topics DC Offset Input Bias Current Speed Limitations Slew Rate

3. Finite Bandwidth Internal capacitances of the op-amp degrade the performance at high frequencies.

4. Bandwidth of a Noninverting Amplifier

5. Effective Bandwidth

6. Small Signal Step Response of a Non-Inverting Amplifier

7. Large Signal Response of a Non-Inverting Amplifier Internal circuitry is reduced to a current charging a capacitor→slewing!

8. Comparison

9. Large Signal Sine wave to a non-inverting amplifier (No slewing!) (Slewing, worst case at zero crossing) (Slewing of the op-amp must exceed max. dVout/dt)

10. Full-Power Bandwidth (maximum allowable swing without saturation) (A measure of useful large signal Speed of an op-amp)
