Crosstalk Induced Noise“Voltage Profile of Coupled Noise” • Near end crosstalk is always positive • Currents from Lm and Cm always add and flow into the node • For PCB’s, the far end crosstalk is “usually” negative • Current due to Lm larger than current due to Cm • Note that far and crosstalk can be positive Zo Zo Far End Driven Line Un-driven Line “victim” Zs Near End Driver Zo Crosstalk Overview

Odd Mode Transmission +1 -1 Electric Field: Odd mode Magnetic Field: Odd mode • Potential difference between the conductors lead to an increase of the effective Capacitance equal to the mutual capacitance +1 -1 • Because currents are flowing in opposite directions, the total inductance is reduced by the mutual inductance (Lm) V Drive (I) I Induced (-ILm) Lm Induced (ILm) Drive (-I) -I Crosstalk Overview
Odd Mode Transmission“Derivation of Odd Mode Inductance” L11 I1 Mutual Inductance: Consider the circuit: + V1 - I2 + V2 - L22 Since the signals for odd-mode switching are always opposite, I1 = -I2 and V1 = -V2, so that: Thus, since LO= L11 = L22, Meaning that the equivalent inductance seen in an odd-mode environment is reduced by the mutual inductance.
