6.3.1 Slew Rate

The slew rate of LM6172 is determined by the current available to charge and discharge an internal high impedance node capacitor. This current is the differential input voltage divided by the total degeneration resistor RE. Therefore, the slew rate is proportional to the input voltage level, and the higher slew rates are achievable in the lower gain configurations.

When a very fast, large signal pulse is applied to the input of an amplifier, some overshoot or undershoot occurs. By placing an external series resistor (such as 1kΩ) to the input of LM6172, the slew rate is reduced to help lower the overshoot, which reduces settling time.
