What is a KA?

kilo angstrom maybe?

-Lasse

I'd hazard a guess that KA is kilo-angstrom, where 1 angstrom = 1e-10 meters

So 1 KA would be 1e3 x 1e-10 = 1e-7 meters or 0.1 micron

Not so small when you realize we're now making 0.04 micron feature-size CMOS. ...Jim Thompson

Assuming its a linear measure, as used in wavelength measurement, its probably a kilo Angstrom.

Kilo-angstrom, i.e. 0.1 um.

In which case, it should be written "kA".

Capitalized, Isn't it "Kick-Ass" ?:-) ...Jim Thompson

Nah, that's like having an EU quality control spec for mercury-lead alloy dental fillings. Not that the SI police aren't just as mean as the ROHS ones, it's just that they can't put people in gulags. ;(

Yet.

I use "K" on schematics instead of "k" for readability. I get a ration of #$%& here every time I post one :-) ...Jim Thompson

Got to admit I never noticed ;-)

Only the non-doers complain... typical in our present societal collapse. ...Jim Thompson

Over here they have a Ford KA. Its very small indeed.

I thought it was a Ford Ka Ka ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I thought the Kuga would be some kind of lady who likes younger guys, but it's actually quite a nice wee SUV (despite the electronics crapping out on me).

Actually "kÅ"

For some reason, "compose O A" doesn't work here, although dumpkeys says it should.

The non-doers are called customers or users. They have a right to complain if they can't decode your parts values.

Ready to switch to 1K2 ohms instead of 1,200 ohms or 1.2K ohms?

I assume you mean "1K2" instead of "1200" (who uses that nomenclature?) or "1.2K".

No, but I have switched from squiggly lines to rectangles. Don't like 'em (but they are easier to draw with PDF editing programs ;-).
