ABSTRACT:
A self terminating electrical socket is described which adjusts communication line termination circuit characteristics in response to a mate engaging the socket. Electrical and mechanical detection techniques are described for switching the termination circuitry from a first state to a second state. The electrical socket is particularly well suited for use in a described memory bus. Multiple termination circuits are described which have different electrical characteristics depending upon the population of the electrical socket.
