CLM1117
CORPORATION
ACTIVE VS PASSIVE TERMINATION
The improvement in noise immunity and low quiescent power
of the terminator of less than 1W is the key advantage of
active termination compared to passive termination. The
CLM1117 significantly improves the noise level and signals on
the bus by the terminating point due to variations in voltage at
the termination point due to variation in the V
term
power line.
Another advantage of active termination is the improvement in
the impedance matching. The low impedance of the device
makes the termination resistance more closely matched to the
impedance of the cable. This improvement increases the
data rate by 10 times, from 1mbyte/s to 10mbyte/s. The
CLM1117 increases the protection and the reliability of the
application since it features internal current limiting,
overvoltage protection, and thermal protection.
