All, 

Oops.  I mis-defined the Z matrix (not shown in my email) so my 
results are garbage.  The new, new, much better than new version 
is below.  As usual, the derivation is left as an exercise for the 
reader :-> .


definitions: 

I1 = I + Ic ,  I2 = -I + Ic         
V1 = V + Vc , V2 = -V + Vc           for mixed diff./common

then V = ZI 
results in :

Z_d = 2(Z11 - Z12)/(1 + [Ic/I])        diff impedance 

Z_odd = (1/2)Z_d =  (Z11 - Z12)/(1 + [Ic/I])    ea. conductor

and

Z_c = (1/2)*(Z11+Z12)/(1 + [I/Ic])  comm. mode impedance

Z_even = (Z11+Z12)/(1 + [I/Ic])   ea. conductor


--------
The above also indicates the impact on the Z's for different values 
of differential and common mode current.  This will give a 1st order 
estimate of reflections. 
--------

Still, as in the original email, Z_odd decreases with Ic and Z_even increases 
from 0.  This is logical. 
When Ic = I,  as an example, 
Z_odd = (1/2)*(Z11-Z12)    , or half the pure differential value
Z_even = (1/2)*(Z11+Z12)  , or half the pure comm. mode value

The better answer to the original question is:
If you've terminated for pure differential, for example, and some 
common mode noise exists, then the termination will not match Z_odd, 
which has decreased, so you'll generate differential noise as well, and 
common mode reflections will increase since no Z_even termination was 
provided.

  Sunil,

  You are asking something that alot of the papers and presentations haven't 
  analyzed (ignoring the complete literature, of course): 
  What *are* the impedance changes for mixed mode signaling (or crosstalk)? 
  Likewise, the right answers will indicate what Vdiff, Vcomm signals will be 
  injected to affect the signal integrity.  I haven't seen this analytically on 
  this list yet. 


  By item...

  1) see the links provided by other replies already, esp. the one at 
        
http://www.ewh.ieee.org/r5/denver/rockymountainemc/archive/2000/diffimp.pdf

  2) Z_odd decreases since V_odd decreases as -(Ic/2)(Z11-Z12), where Ic is 
      the common mode current part of the total.   See below. 

      In the same mixed case (Icm and Iodd are present), Z_even increases as 
      (Ic/I1)/2. 
      Z_odd and Z_even are the two impedances seen on a *single* trace by 
      the odd and even signals. 
      
  3) See the doc at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/files/Technical%20Documents/
       by Loyer. 


  ------------------------------------------------------------------
  Details of item 2:

  It doesn't matter whether we drive a Vdiff+Vcomm (mixed signal) or are 
  a victim of crosstalk.  The same results occur...

  Using the standard matrix formulation  V = ZI  and using I2 = -I1 + Ic and 
  V2 = -V1 + Vc  to express the mixture of even and odd modes, one comes 
  up with:
  definitions:
  Z_odd = (1/2)*(V1-V2)/I1  
  Z_even = (1/2)*(V1+V2)/I1
  so

  Z_odd   =    (1-[Ic/2*I1]) * (Z11 - Z12)

  Z_even  =  Ic/(2*I1) * (Z11 + Z12)

  By inspection, Z_odd decreases as Ic > 0.   

  For terminations:
  Z_d = 2 * Z_odd =             (2-[Ic/I1]) * (Z11 - Z12)    differential 
impedance
  Z_c = (1/2) * Z_even =    (Ic/[4*I1]) * (Z11 + Z12)    common mode impedance

  Also, when Ic = I1 we have half the Z_even of pure even mode and half the 
  Z_odd of pure differential mode, so 

  Z_even = (Z11 + Z12)/2   and 
  Z_odd = (Z11-Z12)/2       for Ic = I1.  

  In such a case the termination would have to satisfy both since the 
  signal is using both equally. 
  -------------

  Reverse topic:  What will Ic or Id  (comm. or diff. current) changes 
  generate for V diff and comm? 

  From Z_diff and Z_comm above, just interpret differently...
  Starting with 
  V_diff =    V1 - V2 =  2*V1 - Vc = (Z11 - Z12)*(2*I1 - Ic)
  V_comm = (V1 + V2)/2 = Vc/2 = (Z11 + Z12)*(Ic/2)
  where Vc is common to both traces, 

  Clearly, V_comm goes as Ic/2 or Vc/2.  It makes sense that diff. I 
  won't affect V_comm.  However, V_diff *is* affected by common I: 
  V_diff changes as -Ic or -Vc, which is twice as strong a sensitivity
  to common mode currents. 

  ---------------------

  Finally, putting this stuff into Excel and playing with Z's, I's, etc. 
  allows one to get 1st order sensitivities for mode conversion, a good 
  antidote to handwaving.

    Hello all,
       (1). How the odd and even mode impedances of a differential pair are
    defined?
    (2). In differential pair when noise is equal on both the traces,
    impedance seen by it is even mode and this noise slightly increases the
    impedance of both traces. How?
    (3). How can one terminate odd and even impedances?


    Thanks and Regards,
    Sunil C Kasanyal
