hello Eric,
Thanks for reply,
OE shows the most delay before falling edge *BUT* that fall
occurs way ou ther about halfway accross/between the
Address/Data transitions which are maybe 150 ns wide.
CE drops about a fraction after the Address transition.
I will double check that to make sure i am being accurate but
that is my memory at the moment.
thanksfor help, ill double check,
robb
