More than most of the time. More like all the time. And how you route ort he impedance doesn't change that. -----Original Message----- From: Traa, Boris Sent: Monday, December 17, 2012 12:10 PM To: jeff.loyer@xxxxxxxxx ; tom_cip_11551@xxxxxxxxxxx ; si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: Routing diff pair HDMI signals at 85 Ohms as opposed to 100 Ohms reduces radiation?

Much of the reasoning for 85 ohms is outlined in the paper "Improve Storage IO Performance by Using 85Ohm Package and Motherboard Routing", but that is for the entire channel, not just a segment of it (as Steve said). I can imagine someone reasoning that the increased coupling implied by 85 ohms would decrease EMI, but am skeptical that would be the case in practice.

I was told recently that in order to help reduce radiated emissions in HDMI signals, routed from a PCB to an HDMI connector, that it was better to route the signals at 85 Ohms differential as opposed to 100 Ohms differential. The contention was that with added connector L/C the overall average impedance normalized closer to 100 Ohms. Is there any credence to this? Is there any research material that agrees with this?
