Remember Capacitor Physics!Constant Current Voltage Changes Linearly slope of straight line function
Slew Limit • For slow moving or small signals iOUT< iOUT(max) • For large, rapid moving signals iOUT= iOUT(max) • The output is slew rate limited • This is the fastest rate the output can change • The input is no longer a virtual short • Large input differential voltages are possible • iOUTis constant, so VOUTincreases linearly across capacitor CC
Simulate Slew Rate - OPA2188 Look at the slope of the output signal. The rate of change is the slew rate.
Simulate Slew Rate - OPA2188 The input no longer is a virtual short. The output changes can not keep up with the input.
Large Signal Step Response OPA827(Shows Slew Rate and Settling Time) SR = 10V / 0.4µs = 25 V/µs (from graph) SR = 28 V/µs (from data sheet table)
Slew Boost Slows down as VOUTapproaches VIN.

Maximum Output vs Frequencyalso called Full Power Bandwidth For Vs = +/-15V 10Vpk Distortion! 7.5Vpk No Distortion!
Derivation of Maximum Output vs. Freq Relationship Hand Calculation matches graph.

Ex 4.1: Hand Calculations 1. Draw the output waveform for the circuit below.
Ex 4.1: Slew Rate PCB Schematic U1 is configured as a buffer for these examples. R6 is not installed and R5 is a short. In the top position J2 will connect the scope channel 0 to the output of U1 (as shown). In the bottom connection scope channel 0 is connected to the input signal for U2. U2 is configured for a gain of -34.8. This circuit will be used for bandwidth tests. The myDAQ provides +/-15V dc supplies. The circuit to the left is used to regulate the supplies to +/-2.5V.
Ex 4.1: Amplifier I/O PCB Setup Install OPA333 into socket U1 Set jumper J2 to top position: U1 Out to AI(0+)
Ex 4.1: Instrument Setup The instrument setup above will configure the signal source and scope for the circuit below so that we can see the slew rate limitations.
Ex 4.1: Expected Results Run transient analysis with the Tina circuit called “04-AWE-opa333-SR.tsc” Use the cursors on the myDAQ and Tina Spice tool to measure the slew rate (rise / run).
