← ScienceWhich field-propagation-related mechanism limits maximum closed-loop gain in operational amplifiers?
A)Increased junction capacitance
B)Miller compensation inadequacy
C)Nyquist instability criterion✓
D)Slew rate induced distortion
💡 Explanation
The Nyquist instability criterion limits gain because sustained oscillations result if the open-loop gain is unity where the phase shift is 180 degrees; therefore, the amplifier becomes unstable, rather than achieving higher closed-loop gain because of the oscillation criterion
