Time it takes the falling edge of a pulse to go from 90% of peak voltage to 10% of peak voltage.
| Wikipedia: Fall time |
In electronics, fall time (pulse decay time) 
is the time required for the amplitude of a pulse to decrease (fall) from a specified value (usually 90 percent of the peak value exclusive of overshoot or undershoot) to another specified value (usually 10 percent of the peak value exclusive of overshoot or undershoot). Limits on undershoot and oscillation (aka, ringing or hunting) may need to be specified when specifying fall time limits.
