The input to a linear delta modulator having a step-size Δ=0.628\Delta=0.628 is a sine wave with frequency fmf m and peak amplitude EmE_{m}. If the sampling frequency fs=40  kHzf_{s}=40 \; \mathrm{kH} \mathrm{z}, the combination of the sine-wave frequency and the peak amplitude, where slope overload will take place is
