[QUOTE="newusername, post: 2929020, member: 562064"] Well, I hate to disagree, but Dan's paper is a tad misleading. Perhaps a more detailed article on the concept is appropriate and I will work on that tonight. Let's make an analogy for a moment, shall we? I put a baseball on a tee, like I'm 4 years old again. I take a bat and swing at a 5lb ball with a given amount of force. The ball travels a distance relative to the weight of the ball and the amount of force I applied with the bat (just trying to keep things simple here). What if we use a 50lb ball and all other factors remain constant? Do we really think the ball is going to travel at the same velocity at any point in it's flight? Again, that's a very loose analogy, but there are certainly more factors to be considered in the transient response equation than inductance. Dan's paper assumes that rise time is equivalent to transient response, when in fact, step response (the rise time and any ringing associated) is more appropriate. [/QUOTE]
