No, I missed that somehow.

That's not a super fast comparator... 2.9 ns. Even the rise/fall are
over 1 ns. But it wouldn't take much in the way of bouncies to make a
comparator oscillate.

Source termination is good, to cut the rise/fall current spikes in
half, or more.

I suspect that it's hard to keep good support engineers. Being a FAE
is like having five job interviews a day. It's a great start for a
recent grad, to see what's out there. Good FAEs seldom last; they get
hired away.

The semi people also do everything possible to keep the rabble from
disturbing the chip designers. I guess that I'd get real support if I
bought 7 million chips a month.

But really, it would be a net benefit to everyone to publish good data
sheets.

Sonebody could make a nice career being a free-lance data sheet
editor.

I tend to be suspicious of limited info in data sheets. Does that mean
they haven't tested the part properly, or are they trying to hide
something within the parameters ?. Good companies like the old nat
semi, texas and analog device had pages of data, everything you could
need and more. Suspect a greater spread of parameters now, with so

Have used firefox browsers since the early netscape days and still on

There is no form, mostly a blank page. I'm running Firefox.

Close out Firefox and restart it. If that doesn't work, reboot your machine. It's fine here.

I get the same issue at times. Some webpages just don't work on some machines.

If that form is not shown, then you need to update your browser, or switch to Chrome

It's safer and easier to switch to OnSemi.

You didn't respond to the post except trying to change the subject

Complaining that the browser does not work on a website, and not willing to update the browser (this is self explanatory(, ignoring critical safety issues not updating.

I run Firefox, which updates itself often.

Maybe I misunderstood, but in an earlier post you wrote you didn't update

If a web site doesn't work, I blame the web site.

I am on 67.0.4, which shows the diodes Form perfectly. So does Chrome, IExplorer, Safary, Opera

So I really think it's on your end the problem is

If a data sheet is terrible, I pick a part with a better data sheet. I
want to get my boards right at rev A, first pass.

If the part is great, I live with a bad datasheet

Diodes is trying to find out if they have an eval board!

Please excuse me for discussing electronics.

I am certainly grateful for your contribution to SED. One of the best we have

It might be that they assign their dimmer bulbs to writing the data
sheets.

But sometimes real hazards are deliberately hidden. That helps
hundreds of users discover them independently.

Every data sheet should have a KNOWN HAZARDS section.

Don't get me started on versions and packaging options.

Or SPI interfaces on analog parts.

Or non-existant/wrong DC specs on RF parts.

Snarl.

There is intentional and switchable low pass filtering in the
comparator. The noise from DC to daylight would appear as time jitter
at the output.

BTW I replaced that following ad9901 by a 2-FF phase comparator in a
corner of Xilinx Coolrunner2.

Connected to the Internet, that's true. Offline, though, the risk of doing 'updates'
provided by multiple third parties is just as bad. I've got a long list of good useful
softwares that were broken by updates... and that's why I keep four or five elderly
machines working. The only bright spot in the software universe is the
specified protocols of (for instance) USB in dealing with plugged-in devices that
fit one of the device models. No software 'driver' needed, any compliant OS
has the right interface/stack/driver ready to accept it.

Java: write once, run anywhere. It was a nice promise, but doesn't always work that way.

one of them gets pwned, oh well, it goes away when you close the

Way back when I put an old win98 machine online for someone for 2 years with no firewall or AV, way past 1998, when 98 was described as being hopelessly vulnerable. A freebie machine for domestic use. It was left on 24/7 and used a lot. Checking it after 2 years showed it had zero malware. There are certainly risks out there, but many overstate them wildly for obvious reasons - firstly copmanies for profit & secondly individuals who think by quoting others they're knowledgeable.

Yeah, I hate the grey on grey thing too. There are some types I literally can't read. Fortunately Firefox has a reader view mode that not only corrects the grey crap, but gets rid of the ads and such. Some pages are nearly impossible to read because of the interference the ads make causing the page to jump up or down as the ads load and overlays moving around as you scroll the page.

When your car maker sends you a recall notice that some safety related part is a recall, do you ignore that? Isn't software security like that?

no, my life is not on the line from using the previous version of firefox.

Ok, so unless your life is on the line you don't care to lift a finger to maintain data security? Got it.

I see you like misinterpreting things

In addition new stuff is added that will be used by web sites as well as bug fixes that affect functionality. What's wrong with that?

the main downside is that over time it makes machines unusable or of poor productivity.

"Over time" meaning half a decade or more? Yeah, it would e terrible to have to upgrade memory or something after some years.

it doesn't take anything like 5 years. Software folk seem to think that new & newish machines that run like molasses are ok - that does not fit with how I work.
FWLIW ram is already maxed out on this one.

Bottom line is you can run with no updates and live with the consequences or you can let the software operate as it was designed to do.

or you can update it for security, but not migrate to the latest version every time with yet more added crp.

By "crp" you mean the functionality that web sites will continue to move toward?

no I mean crap. There's no end of instances where you can get 2 applications, one runs quick & lean, the other is sloth-like yet the latter does no more than the former.

> This isn't between you and Firefox or Chrome. This is the rest of the world. It's like sticking with your wood burning Stanley Steamer while the rest of the world has moved on to internal combustion.

Well, I do things like that when there are upsides. Browsers ought to work when 2 years old though.

Larkin is just having a hissy about the fact that the world doesn't work the way he would like it.

no he isn't

Ok, I'll bite. Yes he is.


Are you in that same boat with him?

I do think you're inclined to be unrealistic fairly often.

You and Larkin are the one's clashing with the rest of the Internet.

am I? Oh. If site designers cba to make their pages work with popular browsers I normally just go elsewhere. I don't remember clashing with them over it.

I find that hard to believe unless there was something to stop the invasion.. Sometime around 2002 or so there was a virus/trojan/other malware that would infect a computer even if it never viewed a web page or email. As soon as you connected to the Internet your IP would be found and you would be infected. I know this because I was trying to fix a friend's machine and kept forgetting to install the update to fix this vulnerability before I connected to the line (using a modem) and would be reinfected within a minute. lol

Maybe that bug has finally died off from being starved to death.

Good idea. I want to try the same sort of thing on vmware when I get
the time, but have doubts about performance. A modern desktop with fast
internet feed gives almost instant response and I would miss that.

Whatever, but restrict browsing to a single machine and have different
hardware and OS's for serious work. Also, use server versions of windows
for the desktop, server 2003 until late last year, now server 2008.
Why ?, more robust and has far better system management and security
tools out of the box, compared to home windows versions...

There is no form, mostly a blank page. I'm running Firefox.

I hate forms anyhow. What's wrong with email?

Close out Firefox and restart it. If that doesn't work, reboot your
machine. It's fine here.

I get the same issue at times. Some webpages just don't work on some
machines.

There is no form, on my machine at work or the one at home.

I can see it, and I'm running NoScript and AdBlock Plus in Firefox 67.0.4 in Win10 with Avast guarding my gates so to speak.

I just did a Java update (I only still have it for one or two sites); maybe that's it?

I don't do any updates independently of just letting the browsers update when they wish. I let Windows update when I am willing to deal with the reboot or two or three.

I do recall when a security issue was found in Java I believe. The recommendation was to turn off Java since the problem was something inherent and could not be fixed. After finding some number of web pages that didn't work, I turned it back on.
