DVI has inherent common mode problems due to the nature of the connector design, i.e. there is mismatched cap to ground across the differential pair. As a result, the cable typically will radiate, due to common mode conversion at the connector itself.

There is two kind of shields - one - is shield for data/clock pair; second - whole cable shield. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface We had some EMC consultation - was suggested to connect internal pairs shield to chgnd. on pcb make polygone chgnd that cover area up to end of dvi connector. So diff.pairs will run under slot of gnd.separation. Question is - how should be connected internal shields in DVI conenctor - to sgnd or to chgnd? diff. pairs running on the slot - seems like bad idea? ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
