Hey everyone,
I was probing a signal at work and noticed that it was very noisy, also that this noise had a very pronounced sinusoidal shape to it. Each spike in the noise is on an either rising or falling edge. This particular signal is the (+) half, RS422. Is it possible that the larger spikes, reaching just over 6Vp-p, could damage any sort of input? The noise didn't seem to have any pattern to it:
Could controlling the rise/fall times eliminate these spikes or would that only take care of the harmonics generated by the ringing?
