In differential signaling, the effects are identical with one exception: The receiving amplifier sees the net disturbances introduced as common mode noise. The CMR, and CMRR of the receiving amplifier then determine the impact. Steve. On 9/25/2012 11:15 AM, Ravinder.Ajmani@xxxxxxxx wrote: > > Hi Steve, > > How does this affect differential signalling.
