Re: RE: [TCML] DRSSTC weird waveform behavior

Mike,

I understand your concern, but i think with using 1% tolerance parts its
just not a big enough issue to worry about.  The circuit is designed to have
about 50-70V swing on the R/L network, which gets current limited and
clipped again before getting into the comparator.  So at really small inputs
its not the best way to do things, but at the same time i really dont like
having to deal with more supply voltages.

I am looking at revising this little detail though, even though i have no
evidence to suggest that its been a problem for me.
