Product Description
Note: CAMDs P/Active AC Integrated Resistor-Capacitor Termination Network is an upgraded version of the original
PRC202/212 series. PACAC provides 2KV ESD protection, minimized lead inductance and parasitic capacitive effects
(with added ground pins), improved termination characteristics, and frequency response at high data transmission rates.
The PACAC is recommended for all new designs.
This integrated thin film resistor-capacitor network is designed to eliminate transmission line effects on high speed data
lines. Incorporating CAMDs P/Active AC Integrated Resistor-Capacitor Termination Network will result in improved board
yields and reliability, minimized space and routing problems on the board, and reduced assembly costs. This highly
integrated network requires no DC power dissipation.
Why P/Active termination networks? A terminating RC is used to reduce or eliminate reflections on a transmission line. It
can perform this function only when its impedance value matches the characteristic impedance of the transmission line across a
broad frequency spectrum.
Passive components affect the electrical performance of electronic systems. In reality, every resistor has some parasitic
series inductance and a parasitic capacitance; and every capacitor has both series resistance and inductance. At low
speeds, these parasitics do not affect the performance of resistors and capacitors. However, at higher speeds, these
parasitics cause mismatch in a termination. To prevent these problems in high speed digital designs, a designer must take
special care in selecting passive components or networks.
The PACAC family of devices provides consistent and predictable behavior over a higher frequency range than discrete
components or any previous network products.
