Need EMC Help With Video Card

1996-08-28 Thread Max
I'm presently having an EMI problem with dot clock emissions from a PC video card. Adding additional ground layers isn't an option since I'm already at the maximum. The return plane is connected to the chassis on this card and the video cables are very good. The emissions are coming right out o

Mike, Thanks for the information. I wish I had tried moving the wires against the chassis or putting ferrites on the fan wires. I'm not sure what I could do about this from a practical view point, though, except to look for another PC. I doubt if the FCC would allow you to modify the PC. Max

%> %> %>Max, %> %>At what frequency or band of frequencies is the problem occuring? Our video clock operates at 126 Mhz. The frequency synthesizer seems to be deriving this from a 31.5 Mhz clock, so it produces harmonics at 31.5, 63.0, 95.5, 126.0, 157.5, 189.0 220.5, 252,0, 283.5, 315.0, 346.5,
