So I > do not know how useful it would be to make a difference. I think my gripe is that the description also seems non-generic. Analog filters never (ok, usually, but I have a hard time seeing how a simple analog filter can) work in terms of some "width of spikes". That phrasing seems like something inherent to trivial digital filters. For analog filters, specifying the bandwidth or cut-off frequency seems much more appropriate. And bandwidth would work equally well for digital filters, methinks. I also think it should be mentioned explicitly that this binding is for LP filters. I don't think anything else would be useful, but better safe than sorry... Hmm, would it be good or bad to specify the bandwidth relative to the current maximum bus speed?
