Maxim Turns 30!

I missed the day as I was on vacation but I found a good link with a video talking about the history of Maxim Integrated - [link]

Understanding Slew Rate of Op-Amps

Slewing behavior of op amps is often misunderstood. It’s a meaty topic so let’s sort it out.
The input circuitry of an op amp circuit generally has a very small voltage between the inputs—ideally zero, right? But a sudden change in the input signal temporarily drives the feedback loop out of balance creating a differential error voltage between the op amp inputs. This causes the output to race off to correct the error. The larger the error, the faster it goes… that is until the differential input voltage is large enough to drive the op amp into slewing.
