True...if they are close enough... If they are close enough, and the rise/fall time is slow enough....you may not need a termination at all. -----Original Message----- From: Gong hai feng [mailto:hfgong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 9:56 PM To: clandrum@xxxxxxxxx Cc: 'si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: impedance mismatch I agree with VS. In case of IC2 is TX, since it matchs the TL, the refections from RX (IC1) will be terminated at IC2 side, and IC1 still could have a good waveform as long as Rs is close enough to the IC1. It could be verified by simulation.
