Hi Everyone, I am a little late getting my monthly article out because of a heavy travel schedule (in Oxford, England at the moment). My latest "Technical Tidbit" is: Measuring Signals in the Presence of Severe EMI - Part 1, How Not to Do It Abstract: A popular engineering troubleshooting technique is to measure power to ground noise on a board or in a system, often with a differential measurement using two unbalanced probes and channel subtraction in the scope. Such measurements at today's speeds are generally unreliable. Data is presented to illustrate limitations of this type of measurement. The picture of the scope probes and metal plate at the bottom of my homage ( http://www.dsmith.org ) links to the article. Have a good month!
