USB 2.0 termination. Single ended vs Differential
USB 2.0 signaling is actually a single-ended signaling but "driven differentially" on major data transfer functions. The original idea of USB physical drivers was a 18-mA current source into a transmission line terminated with 45&Omega; on both ends. As result, the impedance as the driver sees is is 22.5&Omega;, times 18 mA = 400 mV. During the data packet transmission the driver drives 18 mA into one wire, and drives nothing into another, and then vice versa, making the voltage differential. Each "shoulder" either drives up, or is OFF, making each data line to be alternatively into positive swing. As it was mentioned in this site already, the signal is not completely "balanced", leaving 200 mV of common mode. Because of this way of "one-side driving" and resulting common mode, the termination must be split and "center grounded".

In recent time Intel was driving an implementation of USB 2.0 drivers in a form of "voltage-driven" driver, which initially resulted in quite a few hiccups in interoperability with older classic devices.
