Hi,
I would like to check the spec of output impedance. Is Rout (50ohm) embedded in output of buffer or it is required for measurement only? And do you know the driving capability of 1104? Many thanks.

Hi Jim,
Rout is embedded in the output so we don't need any external Rs resistor to match the 50 ohm trace impedance.
Based on above, currently datasheet specify VOH and VOL values at 1mA drive current.
Figure 8-2. indicates that measurements were taken with outputs terminated with 50 ohm to VDD/2.
One of the figure in datasheet shows that we can drive VDD/2 with 100 ohm to ground and VDD.
So based on this circuit, we can calculate the drive current to as shown below:
We can also drive 50 ohm to ground that would result in 33mA drive current but I would consider the number of outputs, ambient temperature and junction temperature in consideration. Because we can run into issue if the junction temperature gets to maximum values. It would also consume a lot of power.
Best,
Asim
