Q&A Ceramic filter vs ceramic resonator

The Murata part you have chosen as a replacement is unsuitable. Its only application is to cheaply replace crystals in oscillators and, as such, it will have a profoundly tight bandwidth (maybe les...

Q&A Is it possible to calculate the rise/fall time of an operational amplifier ?

I am planning to use the LM318 operational amplifier to generate a PWM signal and I need to know how to calculate the rise/fall time. LM318/LM218/LM118 datasheet -The slew rate is 70 V/µs maximum...

Q&A Is it possible to calculate the rise/fall time of an operational amplifier ?

Rise and falls times are limited by the maximum slew rate the opamp can produce. This is something you look up in the datasheet. Note that the slew rate might be dependent on supply voltage and p...
