fall time

GBK English to Norwegian Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
Definition from Tektronix, Inc.:
A measurement of the time it takes for the trailing edge of a pulse to fall from a high reference value (typically 90%) to a low reference value (typically 10%) of its amplitude.
Example sentences:
The rise and fall times of the sample voltage pulse also contribute to the overall energy distribution, since a long rise or fall time will increase the low-energy component. (ScienceDirect - Elsevier B.V.)
A capacitor is charged and discharged through switch selectable resistors from regulated DC voltage supplies and clamping diodes to provide the bias signal to control the rise and fall times of the RF output pulse of a PIN diode attenuator. (reePatentsOnline.com)
The 15 ns rise and fall time pulse capability can be delivered on each of the two or three individual outputs or on the single output of the internal combiner (aeroflex.com)

falltid

Definition from own experience or research:
En puls har oppadgående flanke og en nedadgående flanke. Falltiden er tiden den nedadgående flanken bruker fra 90% av toppunkt til 10% før bunnpunkt.
Example sentences:
PULSDEFINISJONER. Digitale signaler er ideelt firkantformede signaler. I virkeligheten vil det ikke være en øyeblikkelig overgang fra det ene til det andre nivået. Det vil være en viss overgangstid kalt stigetid (rise time) og falltid (falltime). Overgangen fra lavt til høyt nivå har betegnelsen forflanke (leading edge) og fra høyt til lavt nivå (trailing edge). Stigetid og falltid måles mellom 10% og 90% av flankene. Disse tidene er vanligvis svært korte sammenliknet med pulstidene. Det kan dreie seg om mikrosekunder til nanosekunder. (Flere brukermanualer for måleinstrument)
