slew rate

Amplifier response limit

Slew rate is an electronics term for how fast a signal can change, typically measured in volts per microsecond.

It describes the maximum rate at which an amplifier or other circuit can respond to a rapid change in input.

A device with a low slew rate cannot accurately reproduce fast-changing signals, causing distortion in audio equipment or timing errors in digital systems.

The op-amp's slew rate wasn't fast enough to handle the square wave cleanly.
