Hello, Bob: I expect to see a ledge on load1. If the termination well matches the line impedance, the amplitude of the ledge will be Vin/2, where Vin is the initial voltage. Given the length from load1 to load2 is 2", the duration of the ledge is the flight time of 4", approximately 600-700ps. So the clock edge on load1 will be degraded to 1.6-1.7 ns. If the receiver can tolerate the degrasion, it's OK. Otherwise, I suggest to end-terminate the line on load2. Best regards. Bob Patel wrote: > > HI!
