Aug 7, 2019 at 20:07 comment added The Photon Pierre, you may be interested in TI's AN-807.
Aug 7, 2019 at 19:56 comment added joribama @ThePhoton - agreed, source termination only works at the load side.
Aug 7, 2019 at 19:52 comment added The Photon @joribama, source series termination isn't a great idea when you want to tap the signal line at an intermediate point (like point #1 in the diagram). At least not if you want point #1 to see a clean signal.
Aug 7, 2019 at 19:51 comment added The Photon This looks like a cross-post of this question on Physics.SE.
Aug 7, 2019 at 19:45 comment added joribama You have important and valid questions. This is the realm of signal integrity, which is based on transmission line theory. I strongly recommend you spend some time learning the basics of it. One important element missing in your drawing is the ground return, which is critical to determine how the signals will behave.
Aug 7, 2019 at 19:40 comment added DKNguyen It was a link to a webpage with an appelet of the voltages where you could tune the parameters and see what happens.

Aug 7, 2019 at 19:28 comment added PistoletPierre I haven't yet. Didn't even know what to look up. I'm a digital guy getting my feet wet in the analog world. Thanks; I'll check out transmission line theory & reflections and hopefully find that animation you're referring to.
Aug 7, 2019 at 19:18 comment added DKNguyen Have you looked into transmission line theory or reflections? There is an answer somewhere on this website to a link with animated graphs. I think the topic was reflections.
