Figure 21-5. Crosstalk on Reference Plane
Reference plane selection
•
Solid ground is preferred as reference plane.
•
Solid power can be used as reference plane with decoupling capacitors near driver and
receiver.
•
Reference plane cuts and layer changes need to be avoided.
Power plane cut example (Figure 21-6)
•
Power plane cuts will cause EMI issues.
•
Power plane cuts also induce crosstalk to adjacent signals.
Figure 21-6. Power Plane Cuts Example
When cut is unavoidable:
•
Place decoupling capacitors near transition.
•
Place transition near source or receiver when decoupling capacitors are abundant
(Figure 21-7).
