Ok I agree what you say about time constant of your RC
But still by using such low resistance you are wasting power. almost 1.5 mA
is flowing through this 4.7K.
you can keep RC constant and increase R that should improve performance.
what I do is I have 5.2V zener in series with 120Kand 10pF this takes
current of 40MicroAmp.

| hi Nitin, I'm an energy freak to, but I can't follow your reasoning Because I'm building a multiplexer too (probably will be posted next week, so I can make still some changes) and I'm using even lower resistor values then Michael (due to a (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
