Placing the branch as close as possible to the destination devices will
maximize this topology. It keeps the ratio of the length of the stubs vs.
the length from the series termination to the split larger. Keep the two
stubs equal in length and as short as possible.

A good example of balanced 'T' topology can be found in Intel's DIMM
Specification. You can download it from their developer ftp site at the
following link:

Subject: [SI-LIST] Terminating a branched clock line
Hi,
I have a clock signal with a 1ns rise time which is distributed to 2
parts. The 50 Ohm lines are matched length within +/-50 thou after
the branch. Our concern lies with the source termination. Should the
source termination be before the branch, or immediately after the
branch ?
Any thoughts,
Thanks,
Kevin
