Re: [motm] Cap question

2003-02-11 by thomas white

Thanks for the cap help guys. Seems I always have this problem with zeros 
and ones. I could figure out 2200pF no problem but when its flipped 
(zeros+ones+division= total logic block) I go bonkers trying to figure it 
out.

Now that I see the examples, all I would have had to remember is that .01 is 
1% of a dollar and .1 is one tenth ie 100n out of 1000n or 10cents out of 
the buck. These are the types of relations I have to use sometimes to 
understand numbers. If I can see it another way it helps by power of 
relation to something more familiar. Let me just say Duuuuhhh and remind 
everyone I will not soon be designing any modules of my own HA!

Thanks professors! I look forward to the quiz! It really is great to know I 
can ask about anything with a fast and informed answer on this list.
