Signal terminators are electronic components that are used to terminate an electrical signal, particularly in high-speed data transmission applications. When a signal travels down a transmission line, it reflects back from the end of the line, causing distortion in the signal. Signal terminators are used to preventing signal reflections by matching the impedance of the transmission line to the characteristic impedance of the source or the load.
