An apparatus for ring-back constriction is provided. The apparatus
includes a comparator, a termination controller, a termination variable
resistor, a constriction controller, and a constriction variable
resistor. The comparator is coupled to the transmission line, for
comparing the line signal with a reference voltage, and accordingly
outputting a comparison signal. The termination controller is coupled to
the comparator, for outputting a termination control signal to adjust the
resistance of the termination variable resistor. The constriction
controller is coupled to the comparator for outputting a constriction
signal to adjust the resistance of the constriction variable resistor.
The ring-back effect is constricted due to impedance matchtermination
voltage when an undershot occurs.
