Google and likely many other sources will tell one more than anyone would ever want to know about hysteresis. It is covered in most basic electronics text books at the 200 level. Try searching for "Hysteresis input buffer" in Google. Over 15,800 hits. I don't want to start another long series of flames, debates, etc. but one of the characteristics of being a professional engineer is knowing how to sitting down and do the research. This like too many questions lately seems to show laziness. Let's ask the reflector, I'm too lazy to look it up myself. I'm sure someone else can do it for me. Learn to fish, don't expect to be fed.

Hello Gurus, Does anybody know the so-called ��Hysteresis�� in computer engineering technology field (including signal integrity) application?? It looks like to enhance the immunity of some SI (Signal Integrity) problems, such as oscillation, ringback, or tiny noise occurred to normal signal waveform if ICdesigners can implement this kind of feature in I/O buffer characteristic. I'm not sure if it's true. Can anybody share some light with us?? How about the cost, complexity and population?? How many components are using this kindof technology?? Thanks!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- �K�O��ť MSN �^�y�Dz�[1] �G�M�u�H�Ѯv�u�W�ǭ^�� --- Links --- 1 http://g.msn.com/8HMATWTW/2734??PS= ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
