Impedance does nor affect EMI nor does how your route over continuous planes. Diff pairs that are close to each other, whether or not over a plane are inherently quiet with respect to EMI. Think of fast Ethernet over unshielded twisted pairs. -----Original Message----- From: miner_tom Cipollone Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2012 4:14 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] (no subject) I was told recently that in order to help reduce EMI in HDMI signals, routed on a PCB from a driver IC 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?
