ABSTRACT:
A non-linear transmission line terminator (10) is provided in which voltages appearing on a transmission line are sensed. If the voltage level sensed is equal to a predetermined voltage, the non-linear transmission line terminator (10) couples a reference voltage to the transmission line. If the sensed voltage is less than the predetermined voltage, the non-linear transmission line terminator (10) delivers current to the transmission line having a magnitude related non-linearly to the sensed voltage.
