ADVANCE INFORMATION
Resistors equal to the characteristic impedance of the line are to be used to terminate both ends of the cable to prevent signal reflections. Unterminated drop-lines (stubs) connecting nodes to the bus are to be kept as short as possible to minimize signal reflections. Termination must be carefully placed so that removal from the bus is not possible.
Termination can be a single 100Ω resistor at the end of the bus, either on the cable or in a terminating node. If filtering and stabilization of the common mode voltage of the bus is desired then “split termination” can be used, see Figure 9-2. Split termination improves the electromagnetic emissions behavior of the network by eliminating fluctuations in the bus common mode voltage levels at the start and end of message transmissions.
