PCB Crosstalk Crosstalk - unintended electromagnetic coupling between PCB traces. oltage (or current) from one circuit, called the generator or aggressor circuit, induces voltage (or current) at the terminals of another circuit, called the receptor or victim circuit. Important EMC concern: design the product that does not interfere with itself. 3

Design Implications Induced crosstalk voltage is proportional to d/dt and board geometry. To reduce crosstalk: - Increase the rise and fall times - Move ground plane closer to the signal plane - Move signal traces in the signal plane farther apart 18
