SUMMARY
The Gain-Bandwidth Product (GBWP) of an operational amplifier (op-amp) with a bandwidth of 1 MHz and a gain of 10 results in a unity gain frequency of 100 kHz. To determine the effective cutoff frequency where the gain is down -3 dB, it is essential to consider the influence of other poles in the system. If these additional poles are positioned above 100 kHz, the -3 dB frequency can be approximated to 100 kHz, confirming the relationship between gain and bandwidth in op-amp configurations.
