Hi All, Well, its that time of the month when I get an itch to write something. So here goes.... Troubleshooting intermittent design problems can be a real time and resource burner in the development lab. Sometimes intermittent problems can be caused by lack of system immunity to noise on system cables. This month's technical tidbit at www.dsmith.org covers a technique for determining the magnitudes and relative directions of noise currents on system cables. This information can often lead to a solution of the problem. In addition, a design technique for minimizing system sensitivity to noise currents on cables is discussed. A modem example is used to show how the method is applied and scope data is used to illustrate how the data is interpreted.
