termineringsmotstånd
Termineringsmotstånd, often shortened to "terminator," is a resistor used to terminate an electrical transmission line. Its purpose is to absorb the energy of signals traveling down the line, preventing reflections. Reflections occur when a signal encounters an impedance mismatch at the end of a transmission line. These reflections can cause distortion, data corruption, and timing errors, especially in high-speed digital systems.
A properly terminated transmission line presents an impedance to the incoming signal that matches the characteristic
Termineringsmotstånd are crucial in various applications, including Ethernet networks, video signal transmission, and computer bus systems.
There are different types of termination. Active termination uses a more complex circuit to provide a more
