What's an FDLS?
John
The most obscure facet of electronics I've learned recently is the PWM output of the NS9360, see PDF page 145 (document page 121) :
If you concatenate the timers, you can control the pulse with and the period with both timers, but this allows 1:1, 1:2, 1:3... duty cycles, only. I wonder for what this obscure PWM output can be used for.
There is an "alternative" described in the datasheet: Just stop all interrupts, use the same frequency for both timers and start the second timer after some manual programmed delay loop. Ok, WindowsCE might crash and it might be not so fast, if you do it too often, but at least the PWM works, with a whopping precision of 1% !

Literally, sphincter tension?
Strange things have been made... Behavioral scientists need to measure sexual arousal somehow, for instance!

This is already being done with CAT scans...
Oh I get it, your sexual arousal manifests as sphincter tension, that is not a good sign...
You'd prefer just the opposite, I suppose.

Couldn't imagine it...don't want to either.
If you can get a copy of "Methods of Experimental Physics", volume 12, there's an astonishingly good discussion of how to make accurate measurements with PMTs.

I don't suppose that you have tried looking for three or four winding SMD transformers?

I am pretty curious about the physical understanding / application of the 3D FFT.
Not yet... But would that SMD transformer be 1206 size? Tapped 100uH. Small signal current.

The understanding is pretty simple: imagine a cube where the FFT is computed along X, Y, Z. This works very good for the applications like video compression, where the third dimension is time. The 3d FFT approach is capable of better compression then the traditional schemes like MPEG, and the computing workload is significantly lower. However in MPEG the decompressor requires somewhat 100 times less of processing, then the compressor, whereas in the 3d FFT approach the decompressor demands are comparable to that of the compressor. So the decoders for MPEG are cheap and simple, and all of the complexity is on the encoder side. This is better for the typical consumer video applications.

Nobody else will know until someone looks and posts back here.
Spehro Pefhany found something that may be similar.
Well, there are SMT common mode chokes intended for removing common mode noise on differential lines. If you connected the dot side of one coil to the anti-dot side of the other coil, you would have a center tapped autotransformer.
Depending on what you are trying to do, those might serve. They are quite small.
Example: Murata DLW21HN670SQ2L
Digikey has them.
Well whatdayahknow....
0805 sizeBut I'm not sure how to go from common mode impedance to inductance... The common mode impedance is 67 ohm at 100Mhz. I'll guess 67/2 = 2*Pi*100Mhz*L
If so...that's ~53nH...Perhaps that's why it's so small.
I'll look for similar CM xformers at 100uH.
Thanks.. D from BC
Yeah, it is dicey to assume that the impedance is purely inductive.
Murata also has parts in a bigger package up to 2200 Ohms at 100 MHz. I still don't think that will get you where you need to be.
I think TDK also makes them.
In the end, I suspect Win's advice is the best. ;-)
