English: Series termination: In a series termination scheme, the resistor matches the impedance at the signal source instead of matching the impedance at each load. The sum of Rl and the impedance of the output driver should be equal to the Zo. Because silicon IC output impedances are low, you should add a series resistor to match the signal source to the line impedance. The advantage of series termination is that it consumes little power. However, the disadvantage is that the rise time degrades due to the increased RC time constant. 1) This text is not part of my submission, only the figure itself is. Rewrite your own summary.
