Op-Amp Output Saturation
easy

Arrange the following steps in the correct sequence for understanding op-amp output saturation: 1) The op-amp receives input voltages, 2) The output voltage approaches the power supply limits, 3) The op-amp saturates, 4) The output voltage clips the signal. What is the correct order?

A

1 → 2 → 3 → 4

B

1 → 3 → 2 → 4

C

2 → 1 → 3 → 4

D

4 → 3 → 2 → 1

Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

First the op‑amp gets the input signals (step 1). Other options are incorrect because This option says the op‑amp saturates before the output gets close to the supply rails; Placing the approach to the limits before the input is received reverses the cause–effect.

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.
