Hello Charles,

Ideally any skew in your differential signaling will result in a common mode 
component in your system. Well hello... :)
The common mode current, given the system circumstance, is a real potent 
radiator. Keep in mind that in a two wire system it takes only a 1uA of common 
mode current to radiate as much as 22mA of differential mode current. Given the 
situation I would design to zero skew any variables of the design that I have 
control of. That should be the rule of thumb :)



Thanks
Antonis.

Hello,

In an ideal situation differential signals will have no skew through the 
transmission path and (as I understand it)
the common-signal (emi) will be very low as a result.  Given that EMC is very 
system dependent - does any one have
a rule of thumb or anxiety(!) factor for how much is skew is tolerable before 
becoming an emissions (regulatory)
Issue?

Thanks in advance.
