App note from ON semiconductor on proper terminations when using advance CMOS logic to minimize power consumption. Link here (PDF)
Advanced CMOS logic such as ON Semiconductor’s FACT® logic, has extended CMOS performance to the level of advanced bipolar technologies. While high−performance design rules that are currently utilized for bipolar designs are also applicable to CMOS, power consumption becomes a new area of concern in high−performance system designs.
One advantage of using advanced CMOS logic is its low power consumption. However careless circuit design can increase power consumption, possibly by several orders of magnitude. A simple FACT gate typically consumes 625 W/MHz of power; at 10 MHz, this translates to 6.25 mW. A 50 W parallel termination on the line will use over 361 mW with a 50% duty cycle.
