could you please make it clear. I dont understand the question do you meant 2 cards are sitting on the backplane with a capacitance for crosstalk minimization in between? kindly ellaborate. regards Hariharan -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of zanglinyuan Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 5:24 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Better choice for AC coupling Hi.all we often use AC coupling circuit for differential signal especially different level type. Now I'm designing a system interface as following: driver card-------backplane---------receiver card No doubt ,we need at least one capacitor series in the path to realize interconnect. Some vendor also recommend using two capacitors as following: driver card----||---backplane-----||----receiver card which is better to use one or two capacitors? What's the priority for each case? for above system ,when use one capacitor,where is better to place? By the way,The simulation result at receiver card is no difference when we place one or two capacitor series in the circuit. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
