US patent US12764854

Common mode detection in high speed differential traces

Abstract

A printed circuit board includes a pair of differential signal traces and a detection trace between the positive signal trace and the negative signal trace. The differential signal traces include a positive signal trace and a negative signal trace. The detection trace detects a common mode (CM) signal present on the differential signal traces.
