And there's only one receiver, right? Otherwise you'll be applying half signal level to some of them until the reflection works it way back, resulting in possible metastability. Source terminated works best with very fast signal edge rates. Does that Tiny Logic drive those low impedances, somewhere in the 100- 300 ohm range, to full VinH,min and VinL,max, or is the receiver not a logic gate?
That so-called elegant solution with the '245 reminds me of the days of MSI logic CPUs with all sorts of multi-phase clock references all over the place, anything of any complexity consumed kilowatts, and the cooling exhaust air was coming out hot enough to burn your hands. The 5V was routed on true bus bars about 1/2 inch thick.
All they did with the 74245 was tap off the conventional TTL phase splitter used to drive a single totempole output, and use it to drive two totempoles, true and complementary. The phase splitter outputs totempole drives were mirror images and in that way achieved theoretical zero skew. Looks like they were after eliminating transmission line common mode reflection with that skew performance, so the market went away with the necessity to drive clock signals tens of feet in distance.
