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)
