This method does not require an additional power sup-
ply. Basically it requires one pull-up resistor between
the output and VCC and a pull-down resistor between
the output and Vee. The values of these two resistors,
R
P1
& R
P2
, will change depending on the supply voltage
range of the device. The scheme is very easy to imple-
ment and it is cost effective compared to parallel ter-
mination scheme; however, the power consumption on
the external resistors are a little higher. The placement
of these termination resistors must be very close to
its destination for optimum performance. Equations 1
and 2, will allow us to calculate the values of these
termination resistors based on the value of transmis-
sion line impedance. Refer to figure 2 for the sche-
matic and table 3 for R
P1
& R
P2
values for different sup-
ply voltage range and transmission line impedance.
Table 2 depicts average current consumption and power
dissipation for different transmission line impedance
values using Thevenin equivalent parallel termination
scheme.
