Abstract

The TPSF12C1QEVM evaluation module (EVM) is specifically designed to conveniently evaluate the performance of the TPSF12C1-Q1 active filter IC. The solution helps to improve the common-mode (CM) electromagnetic interference (EMI) signature in single-phase AC and three-wire DC power systems.

The TPSF12C1-Q1 provides a very low impedance path for CM noise in the frequency range of interest for EMI measurement and helps to meet prescribed limits for EMI standards, such as:

  • CISPR 11, EN 55011 – Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) applications
  • CISPR 25, EN 55025 – Automotive applications
  • CISPR 32, EN 55032 – Multimedia applications

Enabling up to 25 dB of CM noise reduction at the lower end of specified frequency ranges (for example, 150 kHz to 3 MHz) significantly reduces the size, cost and weight of the common-mode filter implementation, specifically the common-mode chokes. The device senses the high-frequency noise on each power line using a set of sense capacitors and injects noise-canceling currents back into the power lines using an injection capacitor.

A header on the EVM provides connections to the sense and inject capacitors, which are high-voltage rated components located off-board at or near the passive filter solution. Also included on the EVM are connections for the bias power supply (VDD and GND), which is set between 8 V and 16 V, and a remote enable (EN) signal. The GND terminal of the EVM refers to chassis or Earth ground of the system.

Note:

The damping and compensation component values included with this EVM may require modification, depending on the specifics of the EMI filter implementation and the target application. Refer to the TPSF12C1-Q1 Standalone Active EMI Filter for Common-mode Noise Mitigation in Single-Phase AC Automotive Power Systems data sheet and TPSF12C1-Q1 quickstart calculator for additional guidance pertaining to AEF circuit operation, passive component selection and expected EMI performance.
