DEAR Folks,
I have a 14MHZ clock, series terminated with a 30 Ohms resistor that exhibit
non monotonic edge.  Since my output driver has very wide range of output
impedance (20-60 Ohms) my initial reaction was to adjust the termination
resistor to get red of this problem.  I replaced the 603 termination
resistor with a through hole POT keeping the wires between the POT and the
resistor pads to a minimum length.  When dialing the POT I was able to find
a value that completely eliminated the reflection on the clock.  However,
when I replaced the POT with a discrete 603 resistor with equal value the
edge comes back.  Can one explain this to me?
