My last column showed how the capacitance of a receiver loads an end-termination resistor, preventing the termination from doing its job. I used an isolation resistor (Figure 1), to partially decouple ...
LVPECL is an established high-frequency differential signaling standard that dates back to the 1970s and earlier when high-speed IC technology was limited to NPN transistors only. Since only an active ...
The LTC2872 is a multiprotocol 20-Mbit/s RS232 and 500-Kbit/s RS485 transceiver with switchable integrated termination for 3.3-V and 5-V systems. RS485 systems require a termination resistor on the ...
