David, Thank you for your response. It seemed counter intuitive that the second approach would have less crosstalk than the first. That expectation is based upon picturing the fields between the two signal traces as better contained when the traces were side by side on the same layer, than

Robert, The second PCB stack-up will give less channel-to-channel crosstalk. Imagine the stack-up with the ground traces on layers 2 and 3 removed. The coupling of the layer 2 and layer 3 traces will be almost equal to the adjacent channel. The ground stitching will help a lot. But you need to

Hi Bob: Very nice discussion of the salient features of the IT power distribution system. Somewhat related to the original question, should the product mains insulation requirements be based on normal operation of the IT power distribution system or based on the worst-case fault of the

Don, I can put together a differential E-field probe for you that’s good to 100 kHz or so. Our Linear Technology LT1167 amp should be good for that. I’m thinking the probes can be 1 cm square plates spaced 1 cm. Is that small enough – can you go bigger? What field strengths are you looking to

Thanks Ari. IEC 61000-4-5 Surge - I can't use the mains CDN (which is internal) due to the limitations in the DC input (60VDC only). I am seriously looking into direct injection. IEC 61000-4-4 Transients - Agree. I will use the capacitive clamp method. IEC 61000-4-6 Conducted RF - Based on the

Wendy, here's some suggestions IEC 61000-4-5 Surge: The product standard should define the current limiting resistor, but in any case a coupling through a capacitor is your choice. If no other instructions, use the mains coupler you have. 61000-4-4 fast transients: simply use the mains coupler

Injection on DC Output port

Dear All, I have a simple product with only one AC input port and one dc output port. According to its product standard, the dc output port must be subjected to Conducted Immunity, Fast Transients and Surge tests. I would like to know how to test dc output ports for the tests in question.
