In the past, I have always gone to the manufacturer of the device to get this information and it has invariably been in terms of a voltage value for both overshoot and undershoot as well as a transient time limit that the over/undershoot can last. I don't know if there is a 'best' way to extrapolate this specification, but I agree that it is rare to find this parameter clearly stated in a data sheet. My suggestion is go to the source on this one. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: SUDHEER [mailto:sudheer_tiptur@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 11:10 AM > To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [SI-LIST] AC overshoot > > > Hi ALL > > I have a quection on AC overshoot allowed for > devices > > How to calculate this allowable overshoot values > from the datasheets values ?
