Modern Transmitters and receivers utilize compensation networks to effectively isolate receiver and ESD input capacitance from the pad of the device.  A common structure is known as a T-coil, a three terminal network.



The high impedance input to a receiver is represented by the capacitively loaded center tap of the two inductors.  The left side of the circuit is the die input. On the right side of the circuit is the Resistor.  In order to correctly compute the frequency domain transfer function from diePad to receiver gate input, you have to drive the pad side with a 50 ohm characteristic impedance, and the center Tap with the high impedance of the receiver.  Conversely, to simulate this in the time domain the termination resistance must be included as Rt in the circuit, but the waveform must be monitored by an infinite impedance probe at the Center Tap Vout.

Scot,

 

I think a better picture is:

 


TxTerm --- TxDie --- TxBump -- TxPkg -- channel -- RxPkg -- RxBump -- RxDie --- RxTerm
  |                                                                               |
  |                                                                               |
TxPad                                                                           RxPad

Walter,

You are misinterpreting my picture.  I was showing the network of just a Tx or Rx.  When I say "network" I truly mean a circuit network.  Let me create a better picture of the entire channel.

TxTerm --- TxDie --- TxBump -- TxPkg -- channel -- RxPkg -- RxBump -- RxDie --- RxTerm
             |                                                          |
             |                                                          |
           TxPad                                                       RxPad


For a 50 ohm single-ended channel

TxTerm = 50 ohm
RxTerm = 50 ohm
TxPad = some high impedance
RxPad = some high impedance
Lumped approximations between TxTerm/TxPad and RxTerm/RxPad do not hold

What I was showing was just one part of the total channel.

(50 ohm)RxBump --- Network --- RxTerm (50 ohm)
                      | 
                      |
                    RxPad
                   (10k ohm)
