How to Use AC Coupling Capacitors in High-Speed PCBs How to Use AC Coupling Capacitors in High-Speed PCBs High-speed interfaces like TX and RX lines for SFP connectors, PCIe lanes, and Media Independent Interface (MII) routing use AC coupling capacitors between drive and receive components. AC coupling capacitors perform a simple function: they remove DC bias from a differential signal so that the differential voltage sensed at the receiver is within a certain range. The receiver can restore its own DC bias offset on the received differential signal Read Article
