Hello,
We are only using one input pair on the DS25MB100. Is it ok to leave the other input floating, or do we need to terminate it. The datasheet says it has internal terminations, but I wanted to verify that we can leave them floating. Along the same line, can we leave the unused control lines floating as well?
Thanks,
Jamaal
Since all transmission path IN and OUT pins have internal terminations, there is no need to add additional terminations (page 2 datasheet).
For the LVCMOS Control functions, again, refer to the datasheet page 3: MUX, EQx, DELx, LBx, RSV all have pull-up or pull-down terminations as described, so no need to add external.
Finally, refer to the EVM Schematic snlu072.pdf. No external terminations have been added.
