SN74LVC2G34: regulating 5v to 3.3v and I see ringing

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74LVC2G17

I am using the SN74LVC2G34 to regulate an encoder signal from 5v down to 3.3v. It does that but I am seeing 394 nanoseconds of ringing on the 3.3v output during the transition. below are 2 images of the same signal, one is just zoomed in a bit more. I checked this forum and this link and the encoder signal is no where near the 160mhz frequency of this FAQ:

I would like to remove this ringing. Any suggestions?

thanks!

Hi Robert,

Are you able to send a circuit schematic so we can get some more information on your design?

This might be caused by slow input edges that violate the Δt/Δv limit; see [FAQ] How does a slow or floating input affect a CMOS device? If that is the case, use Schmitt-trigger buffers like the SN74LVC2G17.

This is somewhat embarrassing as the chip works fine, but my scope is lying to me :( The images in my post are from my Rigol. Much as I did not want to, I hooked up a Tektronix scope just to see.... below is the tektronix image of the same readings. Cyan is the 5v in and yelllow is 3.3v out. NO RINGING.... I like the Rigol because of the big screen, but the Tektronix is a lot faster... anyway, sorry to waste folk's time
