Operational Amplifier Slew Rate Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter the output voltage of the operational amplifier in volts (V).
2. Enter the frequency in hertz (Hz) at which the output voltage is being measured.
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the slew rate.
4. The result will be displayed in volts per second (V/s).

Understanding Slew Rate

Slew rate is a critical parameter of operational amplifiers that describes how quickly the output voltage can change in response to a change in the input signal. It is defined as the maximum rate of change of the output voltage and is typically specified in volts per microsecond (V/μs) or volts per second (V/s).

The formula used to calculate the slew rate is:

Slew Rate (Sr) = 2 * π * V_out * f

Where:

• Sr = Slew Rate (V/s)
• V_out = Output Voltage (V)
• f = Frequency (Hz)

This calculator helps you determine the maximum output voltage swing that the op-amp can achieve without distortion at a given frequency.
