Termination Scheme for I/O Standards
Voltage-Referenced I/O Standard Termination
Voltage-referenced I/O standards require an input reference voltage (VREF) and a
termination voltage (VTT). The reference voltage of the receiving device tracks the
termination voltage of the transmitting device, as shown in Figure 6–6 and Figure 6–7.
