An M-LVDS communication channel employs a current source driving a transmission line that is terminated with two resistive loads. These loads serve to convert the transmitted current into a voltage at the receiver input. To ensure good signal integrity, the termination resistors must be matched to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. The designer must ensure that the termination resistors are within 10% of the nominal media characteristic impedance. If the transmission line is targeted for 100-Ω impedance, the termination resistors must be between 90 Ω and 110 Ω. The line termination resistors are typically placed at the ends of the transmission line.
