A very fast charge could lead to one thing, while a slow charge another, but you needed a very good quality characterization of your gates. This alone would make the process a bit worthless for any real device where a reset pin works easily, with little design and low complexity. | |

I remember taking courses like microwave radio, and at the time thinking I'm going to be working with digital systems and never going to use any of this stuff (at the time, microwave was mostly used by the telephone company for long distance radio relays). Now, 40+ years later, I'm working on embedded systems, everything's wireless, and I'm laying out microstrip antennas on a PCB. | |
