No common mode is what I meant. Some common mode signals will be due to differences in the two drivers. Do they also put electrostatic shielding on the transformer to remove capacitive coupling between the windings? -- glen | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The windings are close-coupled (typically wound as a pair, and sometimes even a twisted pair); capacitive coupling is not always a detriment in a signal transformer application. -- Rich Seifert Networks and Communications Consulting 21885 Bear Creek Way (408) 395-5700 Los Gatos, CA 95033 (408) 228-0803 FAX Send replies to: usenet at richseifert dot com | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
