In the previous article of this series, we looked at some of the major noise considerations in different power regulator topologies. Noise from these sources eventually makes its way to other components, and it could interfere with other portions of a system. Depending on the types of components used elsewhere in the system, noise may be innocuous or it may cause a design to … [Read more...]
EMC DESIGN IN POWER ELECTRONICS PART 1: REGULATORS
INTRODUCTION Modern electronics demand low EMI and EMC conformance, both of which are related to component selection and physical layout in the power supply section of a device. Many more designs are demanding higher power levels alongside high power efficiency, as well as low-noise power supplied to mixed-signal systems. As a result, EMI and EMC challenges are more apparent … [Read more...]

EMC Focus: Power Supplies
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is always a potential problem with switched-mode power supplies, both AC-DC and DC-DC converters. Modern designs can perform well for emissions and immunity but external connections must still be correct for the best performance. Sometimes, extra filtering is necessary to meet specific application requirements. However, incorrect filter … [Read more...]
