Hi, SI Experts, What's the latest thinking on how the shield (metal shell) of a USB Series B Receptacle should be electrically connected to the GND plane of the PCB in the peripheral? For USB signal integrity and minimum susceptibility to EMI picked up by the USB cable. * for a 12 Mbit/s Full Speed * for a 480 Mbit/s High Speed Have seen direct connection, ferrite bead and parallel resistor/capacitor used to go between the shield and the PCB GND. In this same topic, what is the opinion on how the Power GND on pin 4 of the Series B Receptacle should be connected to the GND plane on the PCB. A direct connection, or a ferrite bead?
