Slew Rate

 

1) Slew rate defines how fast the opamp can react to changes at the inputs. Different opamps have different slew rates.

2) If voltage chages faster than opamp's slew rate, signal will be attentuated.

3) The higher the gain, the more deliterious effect from slow slew rate.

4) This is only an issue with high frequencey signals.
