Abstract
In one embodiment, an apparatus for transmitting a signal with an improved termination is disclosed. The apparatus includes a driver to generate a differential mode signal superimposed on a common mode signal at a differential driver output of the driver. The differential driver output includes a first driver output and a second driver output. The apparatus also includes a termination circuit coupled between the first driver output and the second driver output. The termination circuit includes a capacitor connected to a node. The termination circuit also includes a first resistor and a first inductive element coupled in series between the first driver output and the node. In addition, the termination circuit includes a second resistor and a second inductive element coupled in series between the second driver output and the node.
