[SI-LIST] Re: help: the ground under transformer and common mode choke

Qingnan, no I mean that when the logic ground plane is close to or directly 
underneath the isolation magnetics, that it couples to the line side.  When 
it couples evenly, it impresses CM noise.  When it impresses unevenly, it 
results in both CM noise and DM distortion.

Regards,


Steve
