Yet another option is to sample the output of a simple 1us time constant RC low pass filter and fit an exponential to the sampled data and calculate the threshold crossing from this. If the aberrations are sufficiently low over the range of time intervals measured (0.5us to 1us with a

Hi Shortages... what shortages :)..? The two offending resistors have been bumped to 1% standard values from 5% standard. Functionally there should be no difference at all. Sorry for the delay in getting it up dated. Bob On Aug 13, 2010, at 1:47 AM, Heathkid wrote: Hello everyone.

Bob, Thanks for the update! How critical are the values of the components? If I'm going to build this (actually six of them)... I'd prefer to do it right (and best) the first time. Going from a 620ohm 1% to a 619ohm is probably negligible. But if it's design is *supposed* to require a
