ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a device for terminating a data bus. The present invention provides the proper termination without the use of external discrete components. The device can be programmed, at the chip level, to produce particular termination resistances that are commonly used. The present invention termination device uses a minimum of power dissipation which may be useful in applications that require minimum power consumption.
