Thank you, Jerry (It is Jerry I assume?) It's much clearer now. There is another problem though. If I have a PWM output stage switching at 1Mhz, the maximum resolution will be 40 if you use an 56807 running at 40MIPS. Am I correct? Thanks again Roelof Oelofsen Telkom Development Laboratories Telkom SA >>> "Johnson, Jerry" <> 02/13/02 04:31PM >>> Using fractional math, if the input data sample is a FRACT16 number, the formula holds true.
