Hi Vinu,

As you write for Class 1 HSTL driver the output impedence should be
greater than 38 ohms.
What I interprate from this is, to design the driver for voh & Vol (Ioh
and Iol) the minimum load is 38 ohms.
Voh =1.1V, Vol = 0.4 V and Ioh & Iol >= 8mA.

For this specs, say Voh =1.1V, Ioh =8mA, we can have the value of
R=1.1/8m = 137.5ohms,

Can you oblige me by putting some light on how you calculate the minimum
load (ie. how you decide max. current).

Regards
Manoj

Yes, this termination with a 0.75V power supply that is capable of
sourcing and
sinking current, is sometimes used.

This is a valid HSTL I termination.

This spec. guarantees that the driver will source or sink at least
Ioh/Iol while
meeting Voh/Vol levels.

There is no max. Ioh/Iol spec. According to the spec., an HSTL Class II
driver is
also HSTL Class I compliant. If you plan to use HSTL Class I drivers to
drive
unterminated lines, you may have to design the buffer to not only meet
the HSTL
spec. but also limit the output impedance to be greater than about 38
ohm, to
avoid overshoot/undershoot.
