For AC mains-powered equipment, it’s common practice to use a modular AC line filter fitted either integral to a connector or as a chassis mount part, particularly in professional environments such as ...

Seasoned equipment designers have long known that an EMC compliance “pass” on an end product is not guaranteed by simply using compliant components. The reasons are varied. Compliance tests on an ...

A new IC-based approach to EMI filtering in ac-dc power subsystems dramatically cuts inductor size and offers other benefits as well. The nature of the EMI problem in ac-dc supplies and its ...

The consequences can be costly, ranging from production downtime to compromised equipment and even safety hazards. Certainly, capacitors are indeed responsible for 30% of power electronics failures, ...

Texas Instruments (TI) has unveiled what it claims is the industry’s first stand-alone active electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter integrated circuits (ICs). Intended to help engineers implement ...
