GA1086
Parallel Termination of Outputs
The GA1086 can be terminated either in parallel or in
series. If power dissipation is not of primary concern,
then parallel termination can be the most effective
mode of termination for the GA1086. An example of
this termination is shown in Figure 7, along with the
waveforms at an output pin and at the load. Note that
the Thevenin equivalent using two resistors and +5 V
supply can replace the 65 ohms to 1.5 V.
Unused outputs must be terminated.

Series Termination of Outputs
The alternative to parallel termination is series
termination. For applications where overshoots and
undershoots of the clock signal are a concern, it is best
to use balanced termination as shown in Figure 8. This
could, however, slow the rise time of the pulses
arriving at the destination.
