Question & Answer
Choose the Best Answer
The input signal exceeds the power supply limits
The op-amp is malfunctioning
The gain of the op-amp is too low
The feedback loop is too strong
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
When an op-amp tries to push its output higher than the voltages supplied by its power rails, it cannot do so and stops at the rail level. Other options are incorrect because The misconception is that a faulty op-amp always causes saturation; Some think low gain makes the output explode.

Definition
Op-amps have output limitations due to the voltage range of their power supply. When the output voltage exceeds this range, the op-amp saturates and outputs the maximum or minimum voltage. Saturation can lead to signal clipping near the power supply rails.
