Common-mode termination within communication systems. Termination is implemented with respect to two respective portions of a system: the intentional signaling within a communication system as well as any unintentional signaling which may be coupled into the system. Such unintentional signaling may be incurred in a variety of ways including via interference which may be generated by the system itself or by other devices or components external to the system. In addition, such unintentional signaling made be characterized as common-mode (CM) signaling, in that, it generally affects different respective portions of the system similarly or in the same manner. Various communication systems may include two or more devices implemented therein, that effectuate signaling via one or more communication links there between. Appropriate termination is made with respect to both the intentional and unintentional signaling portion of the system using any of a variety of impedance types (e.g., resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc.).
