Abstract
A termination circuit for RGB signal lines provides a high frequency termination impedance that matches the impedance of a monitor cable and monitor termination, without adversely affecting the monitor-sense circuitry of an ASIC that generates the RGB video signals. When used with a VGA ASIC designed to work with 150 .OMEGA. pull-down sense resistors on the RGB lines, the circuit provides the proper 75 .OMEGA. AC termination impedance required for VGA lines while producing the 150 .OMEGA. DC termination required for proper monitor sense operation.
