DS90UB949-Q1: Schematic review & Question

Part Number: DS90UB949-Q1

Hi

Could you review schematic.

There was a lot of noise in the EMC part through LVDS cable, so I would like to request an improvement point guide.

1. The resistance value of the filter in the picture below is 260 ohm (100 mhz).
However, I understand that HDMI impedance should be set to 90ohm.
- Configured to match the design of the reference circuit, please check if there are any problems.

2. I know the setting of the picture below by using HDMI audio mode.
Is it possible for this part to affect EMC?

3. Request for review schematic

  • Hi CHO SR,

    Please check the CMC symbol.  It appears that terminals 1 and 2, and 3 and 4 are accidentally shorted with a wire.  This would nullify any benefit of the CMC.

    The next portion shown are strap resistors.  These are simply voltage dividers off of a 1.8V rail.  There are connected to an ADC, which may generate some noise, however, the main EMC sources that should be first investigated would be clocks, high speed traces (proper high-speed pcb design), stubs, large current loops, fast switching power supplies, etc.

    There are many ways to reduce EMC/EMI once you have identified the weak spots in your design.  For example, if a clock at a set frequency is the source, SSCG may be employed to spread the energy among a larger range of frequencies.

    Please review the following material for more information on EMC/EMI considerations and requirements when designing your system.

    Next steps:

    1) Determine the source of EMI/EMC through testing (frequency, preferably point source as well)
    2) Understand the mechanism/feature causing the test the fail
    3) Mitigate the impact.  Mitigation steps will depend on the source, frequency and cause.

  • Hi Bryan

    Thank you for your reply.

    In addition, Schematic need to be reviewed.

    Please let me know the email address to send the schematic.

  • Hi CHO SR,

    The 949 EVM Schematic is a good starting point for designing the 949 into your system.

    To focus a schematic review, especially for EMC/EMI concerns, please take actions on points 1-3 above and share the results.  This will need to be done prior to set the scope appropriately. 

    Sincerely,

    Bryan Kahler
