6.33 An inverting amplifier with Ao = -2 V/V is driven with a square wave of peak values Vim and frequency f. With Vim = 2.5 V, it is observed that the output turns from trapezoidal to triangular when f is raised to 250 kHz; with f = 100 kHz, it is found that slew-rate limiting ceases when Vim is lowered to 0.4 V.

Question
6.33 An inverting amplifier with Ao = -2 V/V is driven with a square wave of peak values
+Vim and frequency f. With Vim = 2.5 V, it is observed that the output turns from
trapezoidal to triangular when f is raised to 250 kHz; with ƒ = 100 kHz, it is found
that slew-rate limiting ceases when Vim is lowered to 0.4 V. If the input is changed to a
3.5-V (rms) ac signal, what is the useful bandwidth of the circuit? Is it small-signal or
large-signal limited?

Expert Solution
Step 1: Summary of the question

According to the question, the gain of an inverting amplifier is A0 = -2 V/V.

The amplifier is driven with a square wave of peak value plus-or-minus straight V subscript im.   

With Vim = 2.5 V, it is observed that the output turns from trapezoidal to triangular when f is raised to 250 kHz.

For f = 100 kHz, it is found that the slew rate limiting ceases when Vim is lowered to 0.4 V.

If input is changed to 3.5 V(rms), what is the useful bandwidth of the circuit? 

Is it small signal or large signal?
