It represents the maximum rate of change of the output voltage per unit of time and is typically expressed in volts per microsecond (V/µs). Slew Rate Slew Rate Example: If an amplifier has a slew rate of 1 V/µs, it means the output voltage can change by 1 volt in 1 microsecond. Slew Rate High Slew Rate: A high slew rate allows the circuit to respond quickly to rapidly changing input signals, making it important in high-frequency applications like video processing or high-speed communications. Low Slew Rate: A low slew rate can cause distortion in the output signal, especially when amplifying high-frequency signals, as the output cannot keep up with the fast changes in the input. Slew Rate Why Use Negative Feedback? Why Use Negative Feedback? Why Use Negative Feedback? Table 1 Comparison of Op-Amp Parameters Voltage-Follower The voltage-follower configuration is a special case of the noninverting amplifier where all of the output voltage is fed back to the inverting input by a straight connection, as shown in Figure 1–19. Voltage-Follower As you can see, the straight feedback connection has a voltage gain of 1 (which means there is no gain). The closed-loop voltage gain of a noninverting amplifier is as previously derived. Since B = 1 for a voltage-follower, the closed-loop voltage gain of the voltage- follower is Voltage-Follower The most important features of the voltage-follower configuration are its very high input impedance and its very low output impedance. These features make it a nearly ideal buffer amplifier for interfacing high-impedance sources and low-impedance loads.
