9.2.3 Application Curve

It is common to see significant losses in ribbon cables and back planes. The plot shown in Figure 9-2 is a simplified simulation of a ribbon cable from a 5-V, 10-MHz low drive strength source. It shows the difference between an input signal from a weak driver like an MCU or FPGA compared to a strong driver like the SN74HCT245 when measured at the distant end of the cable. By adding a high-current drive transceiver before the cable, the signal strength can be significantly improved, and subsequently the cable can be longer.

Unbuffered line is directly connected to low current source, SN74HCT245 line is buffered through the transceiver. Both signals are measured at the distant end of the ribbon cable.
