Hi Canes, I think you may have missed some components in the overall model. I = C dv/dt only when there is no other element involved. You are considering a ckt I think which is at least an LC ckt with L being the pin inductance, possibly an RLC ckt with some parasitic resistances thrown in as well. Eqn 1 is then no longer complete or correct for the I in that ckt in response to a step driver output Vo. Or factor out the drop in L (or L+R) and restrict yourself to the voltage across the cap alone for dv/dt and eqn 1 is back to valid. regards, Jai Shanker --- Canes Venatici <starsilic@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > sso noise = L.di/dt = LCd2v/dt2 implies, for a > constant L and once we'd reached the > peak driving current, the increase in cap, reduces > the dv/dt.
