Characteristic Impedance
•Zc(⍵)=(R/(j⍵C))1/2
Transfer Function (matched terminator)
•G(⍵)=exp(–(j⍵RC)1/2z)
Step Response
•InvF(1/j⍵ exp(-(j⍵RC)1/2z)=u(t) erfc(1/2 kt-1/2),
where k=(RC)1/2z

RC Line Termination

7
 RC Region
• RC network has no resonance (monotonic
changes)
• Elmore delay is derived from the concept
of moments.

8
 LC Region (R < ⍵L)
• Watch out the wave phenomenon
• There are reflection and resonance
• Add terminators to dissipate the oscillation
