Carl,

I have no problem with singly terminated lines...the simpler the better. It's using the reflected signal back at the source to do magic that would worry me. When's the design review on this one? Well, I'd bet they're not doing anything as squirrely as Tiger described. No offence Tiger, but...

Good news about Camino-GO!

Tony

singly terminating halves the current output requirement of the drivers.
As I understood it, The current charges up the line like a capacitor before the signal begins propogating. After the signal has been sent the line capacitance has to be discharged to ground so that the line is in it's original state and ready for the next signal. By reducing the current they cut this charge/discharge time and pick up a lot of throughput speed.
