All, I drag this link out every few years and post it; now seems like a good time: http://www.eda.org/ibis/summits/jun05/westerhoff.pdf Happy 4th to those of you who celebrate it. Todd.

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.
