You don't "NEED a slow rise time". 30 ns is MAX allowed on M25P16 end of the line and 10 ns IS POSSIBLE on PIC side. According to your logic10 ns on PIC side could easily transform to 30 ns on M25P16 side of the line :-) (30 ns is MAX Clock Rise time spec for M25P16 at 3V) Don't slow down the clock edge, instead try to design the line so that the edge guaranteed not to slow down less than 0.1 V/ns. > It's engineering: > > 1.5 = 2 > 2 ~= 5 typical > 2 ~~= 10 max -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
