Slew Rate of a Two-Stage CMOS Op Amp<br />
Remember that slew rate occurs when currents flowing in a capacitor become limited and<br />
is given as<br />
I lim = C dv C<br />
dt where v C is the voltage across the capacitor C.<br />

Therefore, if C L is not too large and if I 7 is significantly greater than I 5 , then the slew rate<br />
of the two-stage op amp should be,<br />
