But may be an interesting issue. Usually if Tpd is the propagatio delay
of the line and Trise/Tfall are the rise time and fall time of the
incoming signal I chose
Number of segment = k * ( Tpd / Trise)
where k may be 4,2*PI or 8.
I this way you have k cells in the rise time.
Do you know some other practical rules for this task?
