QPI-5     QUIETPOWER  Applications Information EMI Sources Many of the components in today’s power conversion pass the EN55022 class B limits. modules are sources of high-frequency EMI noise generation.

The differential capacitor will then EMI is propagated either by radiated or conductive means. shunt the EMI back to its source. The QPI-5 was specifically Radiated EMI can be sourced from these components as well designed to work with conventional switching frequency as by circuit loops that act like antennas and broadcast the converters like Vicor’s Brick products; Micro, Mini and Maxi noise signals to neighboring circuit paths. This also means modules; as well as converters from various vendors. that these loops can act as receivers of a broadcasted signal. This radiated EMI noise can be reduced by proper circuit Active EMI Filtering layout and by shielding potential sources of EMI transmission. PICOR’s QPI-5 active EMI filter uses the same basic principles for filtering as the passive approach, but its active common- There are two basic forms of conducted EMI that typically mode filter can perform as well as a passive filter, when need to be filtered; namely common-mode (CM) and filtering lower frequencies, in much less board area. differential-mode (DM) EMI. Differential-mode resides in the normal power loop of a power source and its load; where the signal travels from the source to the load and then returns to the source. Common-mode is a signal that travels through both leads of the source and is returned to earth via parasitic pathways, either capacitively or inductively coupled. Figure 8 to Figure 9 are the resulting EMI plots, after filtering by the QPI-5, of the total noise, both common and differential mode, of a Vicor Brick converter. These converters are mounted on a QPI-5 evaluation board and tested under various loads. The red and blue traces represent the positive and negative branches of total noise, as measured using an industry standard LISN setup, as is shown in Figures 6 and 7. Differential-mode EMI is typically larger in magnitude than Figure 3 – Simplified Active EMI filter circuit. common-mode, since common-mode is produced by the physical imbalances in the differential loop path. Reducing Typically, the lower the frequency the greater the needed differential EMI will cause a reduction in common-mode EMI. inductance would be to properly filter the EMI signal. This means either a larger core or a greater number of turns on a Passive EMI Filtering smaller core. A larger core requires more board space, where The basic premise of filtering EMI is to insert a high- a smaller core with more turns has a greater amount of impedance, at the EMI’s base frequency, in both the unwanted parasitics that can affect the filters ability to differential and common-mode paths as it returns to the attenuate EMI signals. power source. Figure 3 is a simplified schematic of the QPI-5’s active and Passive filters use common-mode chokes and “Y” capacitors passive circuitry used for EMI filtering. The QPI-5’s active to filter out common-mode EMI. These chokes are designed filter uses a small high-frequency common-mode transformer to present a high-impedance at the EMI frequency in series to filter the higher frequencies and adds a sensing element to with the return path, and a low impedance path to the earth it so that the lower frequency common mode signal can be signal via the “Y” caps. This network will force the EMI signals sensed and a correction signal can be generated and inserted to re-circulate within a confined area and not to propagate to into the shield connection. By this means, the QPI-5 is the outside world. Often two common-mode networks are capable of providing EMI filtering of converters in far less required to filter EMI within the frequency span required to space than standard passive filters and can provide filtering over the entire EN55022 class B range.

Selecting the right topology output power nodes of the converter will help to limit the will greatly reduce the amount of EMI signal that needs to be amount of EMI that will propagate to the input source. filtered. Figure 2 shows the base-plate topology of re-circulating “Y” caps. Here, CY1 to CY4 are connected to each power node of the dc-dc converter, and then are commoned together on a copper shield plane created under the converter. The addition of the copper shield plane helps in the containment of the radiated EMI, converting it back to conducted EMI and shunting it back to its source. The RY resistor, connected between the shield plane and the QPI’s shield pin, provides an impedance that makes the QPI’s common mode noise cancelation signal more effective at removing the common mode noise that would normally return to the shield/earth connection. It is important when laying out the QPI that the RY resistor connects to the QPI’s shield pin before making the connection to earth ground.
