Folks, Sorry to bring this old chestnut back to life. I have a question in relation to Dr Howard Johnson's note on radiated ground noise (on sigcon website). I have a board that has a graphics DVI connector on it. I have connected the grounds on the connector to DGND on my board. I have also put a chassis ground layer in my stackup next to a solid ground layer. From Dr J's note, I have connected DGND on my board to the chassis layer at the DVI connector. This is to pin the DGND to the same potential as the chassis ground (which should not be bobbing about like the DGND) at this point so that noise on my DGND is not radiated on to the graphics cable. Currently I have made the connection between CHGND and DGND with an 0603 resistor. Is this OK or should I make multiple connections with vias instead of the resistor? I have a second question as well if I may. I have a connector at the other end of the board which I want to implement a similiar strategy. Can I do exactly the same at this other connector or will I start to have problems with ground loops between the two. Thanks in advance Chris ********************************************************************** This communication contains information which is confidential and may also be privileged.
