Hi Eric

Why not just use a single resistor to terminate the differential mode,
which is the signal you are intrested in.

Tieing the center-tap to ground allows common mode currents to flow
which usually end up allowing power supply ground currents to get into
the sensitive signal paths.

Subject: [SI-LIST] : Combined single-ended/differential termination
package?

Hi,

We often use this termination scheme:

SIG+ -------+
            |
            R
            |
            +--C--+
            | |
            R V
            | GND
SIG- -------+

That is, two resistors in series between the differential signals with a
center-tapped capacitor to ground. Is there a combined device to sucks
all these parts into a three-pin package?

Regards, Eric
