To evaluate your school knowledge of physics: For the circuit: "perfect 0 to 5V square wave followed by the 2K,3.9K ohm divider, driving some capacitive load connected to ground" We decrease divider's bottom resistor 3.9K to 3.85K. The impedance as per Olin (R1*R2)/(R1+R2) will decrease. How will change the time to rise the signal on the capacitor from 0V to 2.9V ? Will it decrease as per Olin's statement that - the lower impedance - the higher speed of signal rising on that capacitor. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
