    The document discusses limitations of op amp output voltage and frequency response. The output voltage is determined by the input voltage and gain but cannot exceed the power supply voltages. Bandwidth is the op amp's frequency response, defined as the unity gain bandwidth (UGB) or frequency where the gain reaches one. Once the UGB is known from the datasheet, the bandwidth can be calculated by dividing the UGB by the voltage gain of the circuit.

    Op amp limitations

    Voltage output swing and frequency response

    Output voltage
    Output voltage is determined by multiplying your input voltage by your gain. Output voltage has limitations Since we are really reshaping the power supply voltage to look like the input voltage we can not exceed the power supply voltages on our out put

    Output voltage

    Bandwidth
    Bandwidth is the defined frequency response a amplifier circuit To determine the bandwidth of an op-amp circuit you must first know the UGB or unity gain bandwidth

    Bandwidth
    As frequency rises the gain of an op-amp goes down, eventually it will reach unity or a gain of one The frequency this occurs at is the UGB, this is something that will be supplied by the manufacturer on a data sheet.

    Frequency vs Gain plot

    Calculating frequency response


    Once UGB is know it is easy to calculate the frequency response of an op-amp amplifier circuit The formula is UGB/Av=BW Av is the voltage gain for the specific amplifier BW is the bandwidth, this will be the frequency at which the gain will start to reduce
