Reflections of High Speed Signals Analyzed as a Delay in Timing for Clocked Logic

This paper develops equations that can extend the performance of high speed digital systems. The equations allow the application of timing analysis to the selection of the minimum series terminating resistor. Use of the minimum terminating resistor minimizes power dissipation and maximizes the drive capability of the terminated device. Detailed examples simplify the adaptation of these new design procedures to computer-aided design (CAD).
