Re: [motm] Re: Interest in a MOTM-102 module?

2006-01-02 by Richard Brewster

Another ditto.  I am now convinced that a quantizer function is too rich 
with possibilities to warrant inclusion in this simple S&H module.  Yes, 
it was I who brought it up.  I was brainstorming.  This collaborative 
design is great.  The best ideas stick and the more off-the-wall  ideas 
shake out and maybe lead to other module design ideas.  A consensus is 
converging that a MOTM-102 should not include noise or quantizing.  If 
you take those out, we're left with the remaining good ideas and it is 
simple enough to fit in 1U.  Agree?  Or do you still want noise or 
quantizing in this little module?
