Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

An op-amp needs to maintain a GBW of 100 MHz for a specific application. If you design it to have a gain of 20, what should be the minimum bandwidth required?

💡 Hint: Rearrange the GBW formula to find the bandwidth.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss how design choices might differ for an op-amp intended for audio applications versus RF applications in terms of GBW.

💡 Hint: Consider the frequency requirements for both applications.
