 		 #85929 - Output current
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik said:
If you terminate with, say, 100 Ohm, a logical '1' (5V) will draw 50mA. 35 Ohm require 150mA. You will need a special driver (complicating your parallel scheme even more) to handle that. No 74H chip that I know of off hand can deliver 150mA.

If you use a cable of 100Ohm characteristic impedance, then you should choose a series termination of 100Ohm. As the series termination resistor is connected in series with cable impedance, only 5V / (100Ohm + 100Ohm) = 25mA will flow. And this only for a short period of time, means up to the moment, when the edge was reflected at the reciever and has recieved the driver again.
