The bandwidth of an operational amplifier (op amp) circuit is determined by the gain-bandwidth product (GBP) of the op amp, which is the product of the open-loop gain and the frequency at which the gain drops to 1.

Assuming that the op amp has an ideal gain of infinity (i.e., the open-loop gain is much larger than any closed-loop gain), the GBP is equal to the unity-gain bandwidth of the op amp, which is the frequency at which the gain drops to 1 when the feedback is set to unity gain.

Therefore, if the op amp has a gain-bandwidth of 220 kHz, the bandwidth of the whole amplifier circuit will depend on the closed-loop gain of the circuit.

For a non-inverting amplifier, the closed-loop gain is given by:

A = 1 + (Rf/Rin)

where Rf is the feedback resistance and Rin is the input resistance.

The bandwidth of the circuit can be approximated as:

Bandwidth = GBP / A

Assuming a typical non-inverting amplifier with Rf = 10 kΩ and Rin = 1 kΩ, the closed-loop gain would be:

A = 1 + (10 kΩ / 1 kΩ) = 11

Substituting the values into the formula for bandwidth, we get:

Bandwidth = 220 kHz / 11 = 20 kHz

Therefore, the bandwidth of the whole amplifier circuit would be approximately 20 kHz in this case.
