Based on simple RC circuit... Vo=V*(1-e^(t/RC)) So apply it for 10% and 90% ( risetime ) Vo at 0.1= 0.1*V = 0.1*(1-e^(t at 0.1/(RC)) Vo at 0.9= 0.9*V = 0.9*(1-e^(t at 0.9/(RC)) tr= t at 0.9 - t at 0.1..... and by manipulation on previous equations you will find tr = 2.2RC fc= 1/ (2piRC).... so fc = 0.35/tr Jean Audet Electrical Analysis STG / World Wide Packaging & Test Organic and Ceramic Packages IBM Bromont Tel: 450-534-6317, tie line: 552-6317 E-mail: jaudet@xxxxxxxxxx Rohit Sharma <rohitsharma@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 2007-05-07 11:00 Please respond to rohitsharma@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx cc Subject [SI-LIST] Re: Rise time bandwidth relation Hi All, Can somebody help me in understanding the derivation of the following formula for digital signals:- Bandwidth = 0.35/Rise time.
