Chapter 4: SelectIO Signaling
In general, parallel resistive termination (R
P
) has a value equal to the characteristic
impedance Z
0
of the transmission line it is terminating. Some interfaces, such as DDR2
memory interfaces, use 75Ω termination resistors instead of 50Ω in an effort to open the
data eye. In this case, the trade-off is eye height against a small amount of signal reflection
from the impedance discontinuity. Controlled-impedance drivers are typically tuned such
that the driver output impedance (R
O
) is equal to the characteristic impedance (Z
0
) of the
transmission line it is terminating.
Assuming transmission lines with 50Ω characteristic impedance and a driver output
impedance of 25Ω , 50Ω parallel terminations are appropriate (Figure 4-7).
Controlled-impedance drivers, whether implemented with DCI or with weak LVCMOS
drivers, should be sized to have an output impedance (R
O
) of 50Ω . An example of the use
of a controlled-impedance driver would be the LVDCI_15 I/O standard. By using 50Ω
