Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and filter design for SMPS Centre for Airborne Systems, DRDO

ABSTRACT

The goal of this work was to simulate the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) generated in a fly-back
converter, design a filter based on the generated data and to study the EMI characteristics of the power
converter after integration with the filter.
To achieve the designated goals, SPICE models of Power MOSFET and Power diode were improved to
simulate the switching characteristics and the reverse recovery characteristics respectively. These improved
models are then integrated in the fly-back converter and the EMI data is generated. Based on the data
generated, a filter is designed and then integrated to the power converter. The EMI characteristics of the
circuit are again generated and a significant improvement in the EMI characteristics is observed.

WHAT IS EMI/EMC

Electromagnetic Interference can be described as the degradation of a device or system caused by an
electromagnetic disturbance. An electromagnetic disturbance is any phenomena, which may degrade the
performance of a device, equipment or system, or adversely affect living or inert matter. An example of EMI
affecting living matter is the current controversy regarding portable cellular telephones causing brain
tumours.
Therefore, an electromagnetic disturbance can be an unwanted signal or even a change in the propagation
medium itself. A change in the propagation medium can attenuate the signal and have a direct effect on the
level of disturbance.
On the other hand, EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) can be described as the ability of different pieces
of electrically operated equipment to work in close proximity to each other without causing any mutual
interference. EMC therefore implies the ability of equipment to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic
environment without introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to any other equipment in that
environment. EMC is a twofold occurrence and consists of emissions and immunity.
First, EMC implies that the equipment will not generate unacceptable interference emission levels, which
could cause interference; and second, EMC implies that the equipments intrinsic immunity levels are such
that it can tolerate ambient levels of interference without degradation of performance.
Therefore, EMC means that a device must be capable of operating in all modes in the environment for which
it was designed without degrading its own performance or that of any nearby equipment.

SOURCES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

An electromagnetic environment can be described as the electromagnetic conditions existing at a given
location. The EMI environment includes interference emanating from natural sources like lightning and
atmospheric static to the various man-made sources of interference such as vacuum cleaners, washing
machines, power tools, computers, cellular phones, mobile radios and even electronic toys.
Natural sources can be either terrestrial or extra-terrestrial in nature. Man-made sources include intentional
or unintentional radiators. Within the scope of man-made noise sources, we can break it down even further
into Inter-system interference and Intra-system interference. Inter-system interference is EMI in a system
caused by an electromagnetic disturbance generated by another system; whereas Intra-system interference is
self-generated EMI present in a system.
There is very little that can be done to prevent electromagnetic energy generated from natural interference
sources. However, natural sources do not create that much of a problem except for perhaps, surges and
spikes on power lines induced by lightning strikes. It is also very difficult to prevent EMI from intentional
sources of electromagnetic energy. Cellular telephones and two-way radios are a major problem and can

create havoc for example in hospital environments. It is therefore crucial that electronic equipment be made
immune or less susceptible to environmental interference.
However, the major source of all interference is generated from unintentional manmade sources. This is due
to the vast amount of electrical and electronic equipment in use.

THE THREE ELEMENTS OF AN EMI PROBLEM

There are three essential elements to any EMC problem. There must be an EMI source or an electromagnetic
disturbance, a receptor or victim that cannot function properly due to the electromagnetic phenomenon,
and a path between them that allows the source to interfere with the receptor. Each of these three elements
must be present at the same time in order to have an electromagnetic disturbance or EMI. Identifying at least
two of these elements and eliminating or attenuating the interference from one of them can solve EMC
problems.
Interference signals are established whenever electrons move. Therefore, any current flow may cause either
direct coupling to other circuits or radiated fields, which may in turn couple unwanted signals into other
circuits.
Their frequency, bandwidth and amplitude can characterize sources of interference. The propagation
medium of EMI below 30 MHz tends to be mains-borne or conducted. The interference travels along the
power cord or signal lines from the source to the receptor or victim circuit. The conducted interference is not
easily attenuated over distance.
The radiated portion of EMI emissions is borne as an electromagnetic wave, propagating through the air or
any other non-conducting media. Generally, the higher the EMI in the frequency spectrum, the more easily it
will radiate. EMI and EMC are becoming more of a problem due to the trend to produce equipment in
smaller packages operating at very high speeds and processing rates.
The use of higher speed switching logic increases emissions from printed circuit boards. Also the use of
devices with low operating voltages and currents, packaged more closely together, increases the potential for
intra-system interference and reduced immunity (increased susceptibility).

WHAT ARE DC-DC POWER CONVERTERS

DC-DC power converters are employed in a variety of applications, including power supplies for personal
computers, office equipment, aircraft power systems, laptop computers, and telecommunications equipment,
as well as dc motor drives. The input to a dc-dc converter is an unregulated dc voltage Vg. The converter
produces a regulated output voltage V, having a magnitude (and possibly polarity) that differs from Vg. For
example, in the power supply system of the Airborne Early Warning & Control Systems (AEW&CS) the
input supply of 200V/400Hz from the aircraft is rectified to 270V DC by a rectifier unit. This 270V DC is
then supplied to a Multi-output power supply which converts this 270V DC into a number of smaller outputs
using a DC-DC converter.
High efficiency is invariably required, since cooling of inefficient power converters is difficult and expensive.
The ideal dc-dc converter exhibits 100% efficiency; in practice, efficiencies of 70% to 95% are typically
obtained. This is achieved using switched-mode, or chopper, circuits whose elements dissipate negligible
power. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) allows control and regulation of the total output voltage. This
approach is also employed in applications involving alternating current, including high-efficiency dc-ac
power converters (inverters and power amplifiers), ac-ac power converters, and some ac-dc power converters
(low-harmonic rectifiers).

FLYBACK CONVERTER

Fly-back converter is the most commonly used SMPS circuit for low output power applications where the
output voltage needs to be isolated from the input main supply. The output power of fly-back type SMPS
circuits may vary from few watts to less than 100 watts. The overall circuit topology of this converter is
considerably simpler than other SMPS circuits. Input to the circuit is generally unregulated dc voltage
obtained by rectifying the utility ac voltage followed by a simple capacitor filter. The circuit can offer single
or multiple isolated output voltages and can operate over wide range of input voltage variation. In respect of
energy-efficiency, fly-back power supplies are inferior to many other SMPS circuits but its simple topology
and low cost makes it popular in low output power range.
The commonly used fly-back converter requires a single controllable switch like, MOSFET and the usual
switching frequency is in the range of 100 kHz. A two-switch topology exists that offers better energy
efficiency and less voltage stress across the switches but costs more and the circuit complexity also increases
slightly.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and filter design for SMPS Centre for Airborne Systems, DRDO

INTRODUCTION

The main purpose of the EMI filter is to limit the interference that is conducted or radiated from the power
circuit. Excessive conducted or radiated interference can cause erratic behaviour in other systems that are in
close proximity of, or that share an input source with, the power circuit. If this interference affects the power
circuit, it can cause erratic operation, excessive ripple, or degraded regulation, which can lead to system level
problems. Input EMI filters may also be used to limit inrush current, reduce conducted susceptibility, and
suppress spikes. The specifications for the allowable interference are generally driven by the power circuit
specification. The most common specifications include MIL-STD-461 for military applications and FCC for
commercial applications. Many other EMI specifications also exist.
The basic requirements for an EMI filter are
The filter must provide the power converter with lower output impedance than the negative input
resistance of the power circuit.
The input filter attenuation must be sufficient to limit the resulting interference to a level that is below
the imposed specification.

This section deals with the design and analysis of EMI filters that will reduce conducted interference and
conducted susceptibility.

TOPOLOGY OF AN EMI FILTER

The noise voltage, measured from the 50 LISN contains both common-mode (CM) noise and differential-
mode (DM) noise. Each mode of noise is dealt with by the respective section of an EM1 filter. Fig. 33 shows a
commonly used filter network topology, and Fig. 34 and 35 shows, respectively, the equivalent circuit of the
CM section and the DM section of the filter. Referring to Fig. 34 and 35, it is noticed that some elements of
the filter affect DM (or CM) noise only and some affect both DM and CM noise. The capacitors C
X1
and C
X2

affect DM noise only. An ideal common-mode choke L
C
affects CM noise only, but the leakage inductance
L
leakage
between the two windings of L
C
affects DM noise. C
Y
suppresses both CM noise and DM noise, but its
effect on DM noise suppression is practically very little because of the relatively large value of C
X2
. Similarly,
L
D
suppresses both DM noise and CM noise, but its effect on CM noise is practically very little because of the
relatively large value of L
c
. The two modes of noise collectively contribute to the total EMI noise.

DESIGN PROCEDURE FOR EMI FILTER

Step 1: Accurately measure the base-line of common mode EMI noise spectrum V
CM
and differential mode
EMI noise spectrum V
DM
.
Step 2: Determine the required common mode noise attenuation & differential mode noise attenuation at
various sampled frequencies.

(V

+ 6dB
To avoid design error, +6dB is added because both the measured DM noise and CM noise are 3dB
above the actual values, and because the measured CM & DM noise voltages may be in phase, which
will cause a total error of 6dB in estimating the required attenuation.
Step 3: Determine filter corner frequencies
The filter corner frequencies can be determined by searching the minimum values of f
c-cm
and f
c-dm

from the required attenuation from all sampled frequencies.

Step 4: Determine filter component values
a. CM components L

and C
Y
:
Since there is a safety leakage current requirement, C
Y
is normally limited to 3300pF. L
C
and 2C
Y

should have a resonant frequency of f

Therefore

b. DM components L

X1
and C

:
Based on the assumption made for Fig. 43, C
X1
and C

are selected to be the same value C

are related to L

C
X1

, L
D
are unknowns. There exists a degree of freedom for trade-off. Since the leakage
inductance due to the coupling imperfection of a practical CM choke also has a filtering effect on
the DM noise, thus to reduce the EMI filter design cost and size, the effect of the DM inductance
L
D
can be totally replaced by the leakage inductance L
leakage
of the CM choke. Practically, L
leakage
is
generally in the range of 0.5-2% of the L
c
value.

5. CONCLUSION

The switching characteristics of a Power MOSFET and the reverse recovery characteristics of a diode are the
main contributors to EMI generated in a power converter. Both the characteristics were successfully
modelled, tested and integrated in the converter and the EMI data was generated. An EMI filter was
developed using the data generated by the converter. This filter was then integrated into the converter
schematic and the EMI characteristics were simulated. A significant improvement in the EMI attenuation
was observed.
In chapter 1, a basic overview of EMI/EMC was provided. The foundation stone for further EMI studies was
laid down in the chapter. The reasons for occurrence of EMI and the modes of occurrence were discussed.
In chapter 2, high frequency models of components used in power converters were modelled. These included
basic components such as the capacitor and inductor and switching components like the MOSFET. SPICE
models for a diode and a MOSFET were developed to be used in the EMI simulation of a power converter.
In chapter 3, the basic concepts of a fly-back converter were discussed. Also the high frequency models of
MOSFET and diodes were integrated into the converter and the circuit was simulated to determine the EMI
characteristics of the converter.
In chapter 4, the data generated from the simulation in chapter 3 was used to design an EMI filter. A
MATLAB GUI was developed for the purpose. The attenuation properties of the designed filter were studied
and it was integrated in the fly-back converter. Thus a complete fly-back converter was simulated and the
EMI data was again generated. The data so obtained (after the filter was integrated) was compared to the data
previously obtained for the same converter and a significant improvement in the EMI characteristics was
observed.
On the whole, a model for EMI simulation in a fly-back converter was developed bottom up. A complete
SPICE program for the same has also been provided that can be used in further studies.
