How to Evaluate Fall Time?

Fall Time evaluator uses Fall Time = 2*Edge Rate-Rise Time to evaluate the Fall Time, The Fall time refers to the time it takes for the output voltage of a digital signal to transition from a high logic level (logic '1') to a low logic level (logic '0') during a falling transition. It is a critical parameter that affects the speed, performance, and signal integrity of CMOS digital circuits. Fall Time is denoted by tf symbol.

How to evaluate Fall Time using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Fall Time, enter Edge Rate (te) & Rise Time (tr) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Fall Time

What is the formula to find Fall Time?
The formula of Fall Time is expressed as Fall Time = 2*Edge Rate-Rise Time. Here is an example- 9.2E+9 = 2*6E-09-2.8E-09.
How to calculate Fall Time?
With Edge Rate (te) & Rise Time (tr) we can find Fall Time using the formula - Fall Time = 2*Edge Rate-Rise Time.
Can the Fall Time be negative?
No, the Fall Time, measured in Time cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Fall Time?
Fall Time is usually measured using the Nanosecond[ns] for Time. Second[ns], Millisecond[ns], Microsecond[ns] are the few other units in which Fall Time can be measured.
