← ScienceWhich risk increases when using uncompensated operational amplifiers in high-gain configurations?
A)Thermal runaway becomes more prevalent
B)Parasitic oscillations become self-sustaining✓
C)Slew rate drastically drops linearly
D)Input bias current starts to drift
💡 Explanation
Parasitic oscillations risk increases because positive feedback due to stray capacitance causes sustained, unwanted oscillations; this is due to the Barkhausen stability criterion, therefore oscillations build, rather than amplifier block behaving predictably under negative feedback conditions.
