AI Thread Summary
The slew rate limitation of an operational amplifier (op-amp) refers to the maximum rate at which the output voltage can change, typically measured in volts per microsecond (V/µs). A higher slew rate is beneficial as it allows the op-amp to respond more quickly to rapid changes in input signals, reducing distortion and improving performance in high-frequency applications. Understanding slew rate is crucial for designing circuits that require precise signal amplification without lag. Resources like Wikipedia and HyperPhysics provide detailed explanations on this topic. Overall, knowing the slew rate helps in selecting the right op-amp for specific applications.

Op Amp -- what is the slew rate limitation?

Hello

i would like to what is the slew rate limitation??
and why it is good to have higher slew rate?

thanks

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
