I am sure one of the few who needs one for my system if I have a choice.

Subject: Re: [SI-LIST] : Physcially-small far-end LVDS terminations?
You say "for a reflection free system...". Who wants a reflection free
system? As long as there
are no differential reflections, and as long as all receivers on the line
reject common-mode,
what little common-mode signal there is can bounce back-and-forth all day
for all I care. Of
course for low EMI and cross-talk we'd like no common-mode at all, but
that's a different issue.

needed. Otherwise,
there will be reflections at the terminator/transmission line interface for
the differential mode of
the signal. The common mode will not be affected because the approach you
suggest will handle the
common mode. For a reflection free system, BOTH 50 ohm transmission lines
and 100 ohm differential
impedance for the transmission line is required along with a 100 ohm
tremination across the
differential pair.

the required signal voltage.

have performed Hspice
sims on this and it works fine if the stackup/trace spacing is correct.

high-pin-count ASIC, and I'm
looking to squeeze more terminations per square inch. (There's no hope of
putting the terminations
inside the ASIC at this point.) I'm hoping some company makes a single
three-pin part the has those
two resistors and a cap even if not specifically for termination use.
