7.1 Application Information

The SN74AC8541 can be used to drive signals over relatively long traces or transmission lines. A series damping resistor placed in series with the transmitter’s output can be used to reduce ringing caused by impedance mismatches between the driver, transmission line, and receiver. The figure in the Application Curve section shows the received signal with three separate resistor values. Just a small amount of resistance can make a significant impact on signal integrity in this type of application.
