Abstract:
The technique of using nonlinear resistances to terminate interconnecting transmission lines has been designed and tested, and is recommended for use in very high-speed digital circuits. This technique can save power, simplify wiring, and eliminate the problem of ringing in branched networks. Line matching by nonlinear resistance is investigated theoretically, and the properties, possibilities, and limitations of this method are discussed. Schottky diodes are recommended for this purpose.
