I iso9001 New Member Sep 6, 2004 #1 I'm working with a square wave format that is close to the SAE 1850 spec and I read in a whitepaper that all the waves have "rounded off edges" They say they do it for noise... ? If I'm using a pic to put data on this bus, how do I round off wave edges, or do I even need to ???? Thanks!
