Have you read the data sheet? http://www2.usfirst.org/2005comp/Specs/gths1.pdf

Obviously someone you trust has told you they are necessary, or you wouldn't still be questioning it after 2 people have said they aren't necessary in this thread. You could ask these people to fight to the death, and use the winner's suggestion, however I don't think that is likely.

Just asking if they are necessary isn't likely to help you make up your mind any better then you already have. A better question would be to ask what type of analysis did people do to decide that they were or were not necessary. From there you can make your decision on which argument seems more complete.



For the record, it can be just as necessary to filter a digital signal as an analog signal, particularly a high speed one.
