9.1.1.6 Active EMI Filter

Active EMI filtering uses a capacitive multiplier to reduce the magnitude of the LC filtering components. Extra compensation components are needed, but the reduction in LC size outweigh the required network. The active EMI filter design steps are as follows:

  • Calculate the required attenuation of the EMI filter at the switching frequency, similar to the passive EMI filter.
  • Select input filter inductor LIN between 0.47 µH and 4.7 µH, lower than the passive EMI inductor.
  • Use recommended values for sensing and compensation components CSEN, CAEFC, RAEFC, CINC, and RINC.
  • Calculate active EMI injection capacitor CINJ.
  • Calculate active EMI damping resistor RDAMP.
  • For low-frequency designs (FSW < 1 MHz), calculate the active EMI damping capacitance CDAMP.
    Figure 9-3 Active EMI Filter for a Buck Regulator

Note: TI does not recommending placing a capacitor from VIN-EMI to GND. However, if a capacitor from VIN-EMI to GND is required, ensure a capacitor with greater than 100 mΩ of ESR is used. Capacitors with less than 100 mΩ of ESR, such as ceramics, can cause the active EMI filter to become unstable.

The active EMI filter is intended to cancel differential-mode noise in steady-state conditions. Large pertubations or low-frequency transients on the VIN-EMI node can potentially limit the amplifier noise canceling ability.

Use Equation 21 to determine the attenuation required. Table 9-2 lists the recommended compensation and sensing component values. Use low FSW component values if FSW ≤ 1 MHz and high FSW component values if FSW > 1MHz.
