Thanks John. We are actually looking into this option right now... I can't believe I typed to buy the bullet in my last post! :) No, I am not in the arms trade business :) Regards, ======================= Mikhail Matusov Hardware Design Engineer Square Peg Communications Tel.: +1 (613) 271-0044 ext.231 Fax: +1 (613) 271-3007 http://www.squarepeg.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andresakis, John" <John.Andresakis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <matusov@xxxxxxxxxxxx>; <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "'Daniel Brandler'" <dbrandler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 12:10 PM Subject: RE: [SI-LIST] Re: Effects of overshoot/undershoot on long-term reliability > Mikhail, > > One last thing to consider before you redesign the board to add discrete > resistors on the surface, is to consider embedded resistors.
