The 0.35 factor is for a 2 pole critically damped system.

Ed,

Actually, refer to the page 330 of High-Speed Digital System Design - A =
Handbook of Interconnect Theory and Design Practices.

V =3D Vin (1-e -t/t)

If Vin is assumed to be 1V, then
t80% =3D 1.609t
t20% =3D 0.223t
t20~ 80% =3D 1.386t
F3dB=3D 1/2pt ----> t=3D 1/2pF3dB
t20~ 80% =3D 1.386/2pF3dB =3D 0.22/F3dB
? F3dB =3D 0.22 / t20~ 80%

Regards,

Cortex

Cortex,

    The value of 0.35 in your calculation is base on the pole location =
of=20
the 1st order system.  How are you deriving the 0.22 value?.  I am very=20
curious to understand the thinking behind this.
