Figure 14. Series termination with star stub routing
Stub electrical lengths should be very short, about 10% of the signal
edge, to prevent reflections. This method is useful for terminating
clocks and other asynchronous signals if stubs are of equal
length/delay. Terminating methods for some alternative star routing
is shown in Figure 15.
