Is there a way to calculate the slew rate required to represent a given signal?

To represent an arbitrary signal that has been passed through a given filter? Would this be the maximum slope of an ideal square wave that has been through the filter? — Omegatron 21:55, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

The maximum slew rate of a signal V(t) is the maximum of the absolute value of dV/dt. A theoretical linear filter can always produce an output with a slew rate as fast as you want; a proper phrasing of that question would have to bound the amplitude of the voltage at the output of the filter. 66.30.201.209 01:49, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

So pretend I phrased it properly.  :-) I was operating under the assumption that the filter is not capable of infinite voltage (as implied by the square wave question). — Omegatron 04:42, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Required slew-rate for a given signal can be determined using a "slew-rate nomograph" [1] Rohitbd 12:30, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
