Why does the IES5502 bus buffer not need a rise-time accelerator?
Rise time accelerators have been avoided on this design due to the problems that they can introduce into the system. The IES5502 will quickly transfer signals on the bus under an impressive range of voltage, current and load conditions, while providing better noise margins and not introducing glitches. Extremely low cost discrete circuits can easily be added to perform the rise-time accelerator function (refer to application note AN103).
