LVPECL OUTPUT
LVPECL output have very low output impedance (open
emitter), and small signal swing which results in low EMI.
LVPECL is ideal for driving 50Ω and 100Ω controlled
+3.3V*
impedance transmission lines. There are several techniques
in terminating the LVPECL output, as shown in Figures 4
through 6.

Notes:
1. Power saving alternative to Thevenin termination.
* For +2.5V, Rb = 19Ω
* For +3.3V, Rb = 46Ω to 50Ω
2. Place termination resistors as close to destination inputs as possible.
3. Rb resistor sets the DC bias voltage, equal to VT.
