METHOD FOR ANALYSIS AND MODELING OF CONDUCTED EMI IN SWITCHING POWER CONVERTERS

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems are usually complicated by the presence of modeling of noise source and noise coupling paths. The effective EMI prediction often relies on the engineers’ experience or extensive numerical simulation models. This paper proposes an analysis and modeling approach for describing the conducted EMI in switching power converter. The mechanisms and coupling paths associated with three dominant modes of EMI noise are analyzed and investigated based on time domain measured waveforms. A noise model which includes the measured and calculated component values is given to evaluate the EMI level for each mode of noise. Comparison with experimental results and predicted EMI verify the proposed method.
