It makes no sense to put ferrite beads in any signal line. How did this get started? -----Original Message----- From: Craig Francis Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2014 4:11 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Ferrite Beads on Differential Signal Lines? SI-List, I haven't seen any literature concerning using ferrite beads on each signal line of a differential pair. Usually only a common-mode choke is used to reduce common-mode EMI. Can ferrite beads be used on a differential pair to increase the the rise time of the signal and reduce unnecessary high-frequency content that may radiate? The two ferrite beads would be sized to allow the bandwidth necessary for the differential signal's highest data rate.
