Some I/O standards (HSTL and SSTL) require an input termination resistance (R) to a V_TTvoltage of V_CCO/2 (see This Figure).

Split-termination DCI creates a Thevenin equivalent circuit using two resistors of twice the resistance value (2R). One terminates to V_CCO, the other to GND. Split-termination DCI provides an equivalent termination to V_CCO/2 using this method. The 2R termination resistance is set by programming the ODT attribute. The resistors to V_CCO and GND are equal to twice the value set by ODT. For example, to achieve the Thevenin equivalent parallel-termination circuit of approximately 50W to V_CCO/2, a 240W external precision resistor is required at the VRP pin and ODT is set to RTT_48. Possible values for ODT for split-termination DCI are RTT_40, RTT_48, or RTT_60.

The DCI input standards supporting split termination are shown in Table: All DCI I/O Standards Supporting Split-Termination DCI .
