Agenda
Welcome and thank you for attending. Today I hope I can provide a overall better understanding of the practical
design aspects of managing conducted EMI in power systems. The topics we will cover in Part 2 of our two part
event an input inductor is used to isolate the high frequency differential current from the source.
X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors will be used to carry the high frequency ripple current because they have the
lowest ESR and ESL. In order to reduce the switching ripple voltage to an acceptable level, multiple ceramic
capacitors will be used in parallel to reduce the overall ESR and ESL even further. The equations that follow are
general in nature and do not include ESR and ESL when calculating the actual capacitance value required. For
designs that have very high ripple current with very fast transients, a more rigorous study may be required.
The input bulk capacitor is required to prevent the input voltage from sagging below the converter under voltage
lockout during a load transient. A low ESR Oscon or Aluminum Electrolytic capacitor will be required if an input
inductor of a significant value is used or if the DC-DC requires EMI scans using a LISN.

For our converter, this should be no problem since LIN is
small. At 10V input, a 50% load step is an increase of input
current of 1A average. So, Vin will change by:

This means that if the output impedance of the input filter is 5 Ohms, we now have created a negative
resistance oscillator.
The onset of this instability is manifested by a sinusoidal input current and voltage oscillation that will
perturb the output and create all sorts of havoc, including overshoots and possible damage.

Multiple winding chokes have higher parasitic

In Summary.
A method was presented to design the correct amount of input capacitance for a typical Buck regulator and conf
the results were confirmed using circuit simulation methods. We discussed the measurement of insertion loss and
filter impedances. A method to damp the input filter of a Buck regulator was also discussed.
A case history was presented to illustrate the problem of input filter stability and how to correct it.
