Balanced Line EMI Chip
X2Y
The Syfer Balanced Line Chip is a 3 terminal EMI chip device. The
revolutionary design provides simultaneous line-to-line and line-to-
ground filtering, using a single ceramic chip. In this way, differential
and common mode filtering are provided in one device. Capable of
replacing 2 or more conventional devices, it is ideal for balanced lines,
twisted pairs and dc motors, in automotive, audio, sensor and other
applications.
These filters can prove invaluable in meeting stringent EMC demands
particularly in automotive applications.

Balanced Line EMI Chip
X2Y
The Syfer Balanced Line EMI chip has a unique internal architecture
which provides unbeatable EMC performance for dual line data
transmission.
A typical application for dual line data transmission would see a
board layout using decoupling chip capacitors or 3 terminal
feedthrough chips as shown in Fig 1.

The Balanced Line EMI chip replaces decoupling capacitors or 3

The internal structure furnishes a reduced inductance when
compared to that of a conventional capacitor. This is a result of the
novel internal electrode structure which inherently reduces the
inductance by the cancellation effect of opposing currents in close
proximity.
The capacitance line to ground (common mode) is closely matched
due to the symmetry within the design. As the device includes line
to ground capacitance for both lines, any temperature, ageing and
voltage effects will have an equal influence on both lines therefore
maintaining balanced decoupling.
The construction also allows a capacitance between lines as well as
to ground as shown in Fig 3.

C2, the line to line capacitance, is half the line to ground
capacitance thus providing coupling of high frequency interference
between balanced lines.
Because the part acts as a decoupling device, the current limitations
of a standard 3 terminal chip do not apply. The single line 3
terminal feedthrough chip carries the signal current through the
very thin feedthrough electrodes within the device which have
limited DC resistance and so can cause excessive heating, hence the
maximum permissible current is often limited to around 300 mA for
a 1206 device. The dual line 3 terminal chip is in by-pass across
two lines and so is unaffected by high signal currents.
Table 1 offers a comparison of decoupling devices and
demonstrates how the Balanced Line EMI chip extends the options
for EMC circuit protection.

Application Note
One of the significant features of this product is its extremely low
inductance, making it particularly suitable for high speed digital
applications and for reduction of common mode currents for power
line applications. Inductance cancellation, due to the effect of
opposing current flow across the device, results in a typical line to
line inductance of around 100pH, with a corresponding line to
ground inductance of 50pH.
The Balanced Line EMI chip satisfies the need for high speed
communications systems using balanced lines or twisted pairs
offering low inductance (therefore high frequency operation),
reduced board space, reduced component count and an
unparalleled performance.
