Apparatus and method for limiting electromagnetic interferences in a switching converter
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for limiting or preventing electromagnetic interferences in a switching converter are presented. In particular, a power circuit provided with an active electromagnetic interference filter is presented. There is an electromagnetic interference EMI reduction circuit for use with a switching converter. This EMI reduction circuit has a current source and is adapted to regulate a voltage across the current source to provide a current having a constant average value. The switching converter is adapted to provide a converter current, and the current source constant average value may be substantially equal to an average value of the converter current. The circuit has a variable resistance; and an adjuster adapted to adjust the variable resistance based on the converter current. The adjuster may have a comparator, which is adapted to compare a voltage value at a terminal of a transistor switch, and a reference value.
