← ScienceWhich outcome results when an operational amplifier (op-amp) configured as a comparator exceeds its slew rate limit?
A)Output signal distorts severely✓
B)Amplifier oscillates unstably
C)Input bias current increases linearly
D)Thermal runaway begins rapidly
💡 Explanation
When an op-amp's input signal changes faster than its slew rate allows, the output cannot keep up, because the saturation mechanism limits the output voltage change; therefore severe distortion occurs, rather than oscillation which results from feedback, or thermal runaway.
