I presume that you want ot put the slew limiter inside the ami for convenience. It should be really part of the circuit not ami. If the memory portion of slew limiter (time constant etc) is really "tiny" you may get away with approximating it in ami. But I still think the best way to resolve it to compare it with circuit simulation with and without hte slew limiter in the circuit for canonical channels.
