In the above diagrams, only normal output is shown. However, the DC
check however is done for normal and complement output. In general,
the both outputs (P/N) need to be terminated the same way.
In single ended use case for better convenience the unused output can
be terminated with 50 Ohm into GND although termination voltage of
used output might not be zero. This is only true as long as the offset
voltage is between +1V and -1V. The mismatch is detected during the
test and is compensated internally. This is implemented in order to make
the termination of unused outputs easier.
