P82B96
Dual bidirectional bus buffer
Question: If we add 100 Ω to 200 Ω at signal line, the overshoot becomes slightly
smaller. Is this a good idea?
Answer: No, it is not necessary to add any resistance. When the logic signal generated
by Tx or Ty of P82B96 drives long traces or wiring with ICs other than P82B96 being
driven, then adding a Schottky diode (BAT54A) as shown in Figure 24 will clamp the
wiring undershoot to a value that will not cause conduction of the IC’s internal diodes.
