Fail Fast

financiamentos de veículos no Brasil August/2013 Bruno Martins and Ricardo Schechtman This paper investigates the consequences on loan spreads of a within-sector macro prudential capital measure in Brazil. Due to concerns related to a possibly too fast and unbalanced expansion of the auto-loan sector, regulatory capital was raised for auto-loans with specific long maturities and high LTVs.

It was precisely because they listened too exclusively to what their best customers wanted, developed streams of new products and services that met these customers’ needs, and invested in new products, processes, and services that promised the

of the on-board 8-bit A/D converters is used as a comparator, with the trip level being specified in software. The absolute conversion accuracy is dependant on a number of factors, including the input leakage current of the analog sense pin and the fast charge pin in its quiescent state. Leakage current in the integration capacitor will also cause errors in accuracy due to asymmetric charge/discharge conditions. In this application, however, it is the difference in consecutive A/D values…
