7.3.8 MVB ESD+ ("RX only" or "RX/TX") interface specifications (vers: -11 only)
7.3.8.1 MVB ESD+ Connection Notes
An ESD segment shall be terminated electrically at each end by a terminator.
The terminator shall present an impedance of 120.0 Ω ± 2 % measured at 1.0 BR.
Example of terminator (from the IEC 61375-1: 2007):
The terminator shown in the following figure presents an impedance of 120.5 Ω and biases the line with
about 0.786 V. Note that the Vpp source shall have a very low inner impedance in the frequency range of
0.5 BT until 2 BT in order that the equivalent terminator impedance seen by the line is within the
specified tolerance. Resistors are belonging from the E96 series 1% tolerance.
Components Type Value Connections Type Value
Ru Resistor 383 Ω Vpp Supply voltage 5.0 V
Rm Resistor 143 Ω GND Reference voltage 0.0 V
Rd Resistor 383 Ω
Fig. 2 - Example of terminator
The terminator shall be included into a connector, to be plugged into the empty receptacle of a device
located at the end of the segment, according to the wiring shown in the following figure:
