The "source" may be differential, but common mode currents generally
contribute much more to radiated emissions, especially with cables...  It
sounds like you have cable radiation (100MHz) as well as maybe slot
radiation (600MHz)...  Tell us more about your device's test setup... (i.e.
chassis and cabling details)...

Subject: AC 97



Esteemed Colleages;

Has anyone had experience using Audio-Codec '97 (AC 97) topology with
respect to EMC performance.  It is commonly used in PC sound cards.  We have
a device that incorporates this technology for voice recognition and are
seeing very high emissions between 100-600 MHz.  The offending RF noise
source appears to be entirely differential.

Thanks
