Abstract
An electrical circuit whose slow rate can be changed. Included in the circuit is an input node for applying a voltage signal, a first switch in series with the input node, and a resistance in series with and in-between the input node and first switch. The slew rate of the circuit is adjusted by changing the equivalent resistance between the input node and the first switch based upon a control signal.
