amplifier output voltage calculation considering its saturation

[MP_10884228]

Hello,

I would like to get some help from you in order to be able to calculate the output voltage of an integrator OPAMP considering also its saturation.

As it could be seen in my example that I attached, the output voltage will start decreasing from 0V with a negative slope, proportional with time. The negative supply of the OPAMP is -6V, so I would like to know if you could tell me please how can I upgrade my calculation formula with some logic in order to check if the output voltage is still less than -6V, then it should be calculated according to the formula, otherwise it means that the OPAMP is saturated and the output is staying at -6V?

Thank you in advance!

You may also use the "max" function to achieve this:

If limiting values within a certain range occurs more often in your sheet you may consider using a generic function to do the job

(maybe hidden in a collapsed area at the front or in the non-printable area to the right of the right page border.

Usage in your case could be:
