Steve,

I think as a differential scheme, LVDS inherently rejects the common
mode signal/noise. I mean whatever that is common on both traces with
respect to the reference plane/ground.=20

So what is the extra advantage of using 'center tap scheme'?

Best regards,
Venu Babu

The two resistor termination is a double single-ended termination.  The=20
single resistor termination presumes a virtual ground at the center of
the=20
resistor.

What noise sources do you think LVDS is trying to reject?
What noise sources do you think LVDS can reject?
What noise sources do you think LVDS cannot reject?
