Notes:

1. Power-saving alternative to Thevenin termination.

2. Place termination resistors as close to destination inputs as possible.

Figure 4c. Terminating Unused LVPECL I/O

Notes:

1. Unused output (/Q) must be terminated to balance the output.

2. For +2.5V systems: R1 = 250

Ω, R2 = 62.5Ω, R3 = 1.25kΩ, R4 = 1.2kΩ.

2. Unused output pairs (Q and /Q) may be left floating.
