4.8.1.2 Digital and Analog Signals Isolation
Analog audio signals and other digital signals should be routed as far as possible from
each other. All audio circuits require careful PCB layout and grounding to avoid picking
up digital noise on audio-signal lines.
4.8.1.3 EMI Consideration
Any signals entering or leaving the analog area must cross the ground split in the area
where the analog ground is attached to the main motherboard ground. That is, no
signal should cross the split/gap between the ground planes, which would cause a
ground loop, thereby greatly increasing EMI emissions and degrading the analog and
digital signal quality.
4.9 IDE
Type 2 and 4 COM Express modules provide a single channel IDE interface
supporting two standard IDE hard drives or ATAPI devices with a maximum transfer
rate of ATA100 (Ultra-DMA-100 with 100MB/s transfer rate). The corresponding
signals can be found on the module connector rows C and D.
4.9.1 Signal Description
Table 4-18 shows COM Express PCI IDE signals, including pin number, signals, I/0,
power plane, terminal resistors, damping resistors and descriptions.
