EMI Filter Design Steps:
By calculating the first harmonic current from the Fourier series of the input current waveform and multiplying it by the input impedance (the impedance is defined by the existing input capacitor CIN), a formula can be derived to obtain the required attenuation:
VMAX is the allowed dBμV noise level for the particular EMI standard. CIN is the existing input capacitors of the Buck converter, for this application 10 µF was selected. DMAX is the maximum duty cycle, Ipk is the inductor current, the current at the input can be modeled as a square wave, FSW is the switching frequency.
For this application, CF was chosen to be 1 μF. Adding an input filter to a switching regulator modifies the control-to output transfer function. The output impedance of the filter must be sufficiently small such that the input filter does not significantly affect the loop gain of the buck converter. The impedance of the filter peaks at the filter resonant frequency.
Referring to Figure 29, the purpose of RD is to reduce the peak output impedance of the filter at the cutoff frequency. The capacitor CD blocks the DC component of the input voltage, and avoids excessive power dissipation on RD. The capacitor CD should have lower impedance than RD at the resonant frequency, with a capacitance value greater than 5 times the filter capacitor CIN. This will prevent it from interfering with the cutoff frequency of the main filter. Added damping is needed when the output impedance is high at the resonant frequency (Q) of filter formed by CIN and LF is too high):
An electrolytic cap CD can be used as damping device, with value:
For this design CD = 47 µF was selected
