Increasing the Line Level Using Active Impedance Matching
11 Increasing the Line Level Using Active Impedance Matching
With passive matching, the output signal amplitude of the driver must be twice the amplitude on the load.
To go beyond this limitation an active matching impedance can be used. With this technique, it is possible
to maintain good impedance matching with an amplitude on the load higher than half of the output driver
amplitude. This concept is shown in Figure 73 for a differential line.
