Frequency Response of an Op-Amps

What does frequency response refer to in an electronic circuit?

• The cost of the components used

• The power consumption of the circuit

• How the circuit reacts to different frequencies of an input signal

• The physical size of the circuit

What happens to the gain of an op-amp as the operating frequency increases?

• The gain becomes infinite

• The gain decreases

• The gain remains constant

• The gain increases

What is the unity-gain bandwidth (UGB) for an op-amp?

• The frequency at which the gain is maximum

• The frequency at which the phase shift is 180 degrees

• The frequency at which the gain is zero

• The maximum frequency at which the op-amp can operate
