All,

I drag this link out every few years and post it; now seems like a good
time:

Happy 4th to those of you who celebrate it.

Hi, Steve

The resistor value approximates the difference between the TX line
characteristic impedance and the driver V/I load line characteristic.
We know the "the driver V/I" may not be a constant for the rising ,falling
edge, high and low edge, which V/I should we choose to  match the line
charateristic impedance?
Thanks.
Tesla.
