Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of modeling and suppressing conducted electromagnetic interference in switching power supplies, and particularly to an auxiliary winding type common-mode conducted electromagnetic interference reverse cancellation circuit based on a Boost inductor. Background Technology

[0002] Electromagnetic interference (EMI) refers to the amplitude of electromagnetic noise generated by electronic equipment or systems during operation. Excessive EMI can affect other electrical equipment in the same space, even causing them to malfunction. To reduce the interference of various electronic devices on other equipment, various countries and regions have successively introduced mandatory electromagnetic compatibility standards for different electronic products. On the other hand, the ever-increasing switching frequencies and increasingly compact PCB layouts have made conducted electromagnetic interference in switching power supplies more and more serious. Suppressing conducted electromagnetic interference has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] As academic research into the mechanisms of electromagnetic interference continues to deepen, various methods for suppressing conducted electromagnetic interference have been proposed. These methods can be broadly categorized into two types: 1) noise reduction after noise generation; and 2) noise reduction during the noise generation stage.

[0004] Noise reduction after noise generation, i.e., filtering, is currently the most common method in the power electronics industry. Mainstream filtering schemes are divided into passive EMI filtering and active EMI filtering (AEF). Passive EMI filtering mainly uses low-pass filters composed of passive components such as inductors and capacitors to suppress EMI noise. Passive EMI filters are large, sometimes occupying up to 30% of the converter area, which is detrimental to high power density designs. Active EMI filters utilize active devices such as operational amplifiers or transistors to construct feedforward / feedback circuits for EMI noise suppression. They are very small, but limited by bandwidth requirements, resulting in higher costs and hindering industrial adoption. Emerging digital active filters also face similar problems.

[0005] Noise reduction during the noise generation stage is mainly achieved through three approaches: 1) selecting or designing appropriate components, or improving PCB layout; 2) using better switching modulation schemes; and 3) soft-switching technology. However, current research is insufficient, a complete theoretical system has not yet been formed, and effective evaluation methods are lacking.

[0006] This invention proposes a circuit structure for an auxiliary winding type common-mode conducted electromagnetic interference reverse cancellation circuit based on a Boost inductor. The circuit structure is simple and has the advantages of small size and light weight compared to passive EMI filters. The circuit uses only a few passive components and has the advantages of low cost and easy integration compared to active EMI filters. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention provides a circuit structure for an auxiliary winding type common-mode conducted electromagnetic interference reverse cancellation circuit based on a Boost inductor. This circuit structure eliminates voltage sampling and feedback, resulting in a simple structure; it uses only three passive components, making it low-cost, easy to implement, and extremely compact.

[0008] A common-mode conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) reverse cancellation circuit based on an auxiliary winding of a Boost inductor is applied to a Boost converter. This circuit utilizes the auxiliary winding coupled to the Boost power inductor to construct an EMI reverse cancellation circuit against the internal noise source v of the converter. DS Compensation voltage sources with the same waveform shape and proportional amplitude v comp After passing through two compensation capacitors C comp1 With C comp2 Injected into the busbar, it reverses and cancels common-mode conducted electromagnetic interference in the circuit; the circuit structure includes an auxiliary winding L coupled to the power inductor. aux and two compensation capacitors C comp1 With C comp2 Among them, the auxiliary winding L aux Coupled with the power inductor L of the Boost converter, one end is connected to the common ground of the Boost converter, and the other end is connected to two compensation capacitors C. comp1 With C comp2 The common connection terminal; the terminal connected to the converter's common ground and the terminal connected to the positive input bus of the Boost converter by the power inductor L are of the same name; the two compensation capacitors C comp1 With C comp2 One end is connected to the other, and the other end is connected to the positive and negative input buses of the Boost converter respectively. The auxiliary winding type common-mode conducted electromagnetic interference reverse cancellation circuit based on the Boost inductor can completely cancel the common-mode conducted electromagnetic interference in the circuit under the condition of ideal coupling between the auxiliary winding and the power inductor winding, and obtain a good attenuation effect in the full frequency range. The circuit can also work under the condition of non-ideal coupling between the auxiliary winding and the power inductor winding, and can obtain a good attenuation effect in the frequency range below 10MHz.

[0009] The two compensation capacitors C comp1 With C comp2 Their capacitance, model, package, and specifications are all identical to form a symmetrical circuit structure, that is:

[0010]

[0011] The two compensation capacitors C comp1 With C comp2 The compensation current flowing through it is extremely small, so a small-package surface-mount MLCC ceramic capacitor is selected to reduce the size. It is only necessary to ensure that its voltage rating is higher than half of the input bus voltage of the Boost converter.

[0012] The auxiliary winding L aux It is coupled to the power inductor L of the Boost converter to induce a compensation voltage v. comp This allows for the injection of compensation current into the busbar. Because the compensation current is extremely small, the auxiliary winding is very simple to construct. For wound power inductors, the auxiliary winding can be directly wound onto the core of the power inductor using copper wires with a small diameter; for planar power inductors, the auxiliary winding can be constructed by adding fine traces to the copper foil layer, increasing the volume almost indiscriminately.

[0013] The auxiliary winding L aux The turns ratio of the power inductor L in the Boost converter can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation of the converter. The reverse cancellation circuit is in the auxiliary winding L. aux The cancellation effect is best under ideal coupling with the power inductor L. If a better attenuation effect is desired across the entire frequency range, a turns ratio of 1:1 should be selected, and the thick wire of the power inductor should be twisted together with the thin wire of the auxiliary winding to obtain a higher coupling coefficient. If a simple circuit with a very small size and low component parameter sensitivity is required, only one turn of the auxiliary winding can be selected.

[0014] When the Boost power inductor and auxiliary winding are ideally coupled, the capacitance C of the two compensation capacitors is... comp1 With C comp2 The capacitance C of the parasitic capacitance to ground at the Boost converter jumper point par The number of turns n of the power inductor L of the Boost converter and the auxiliary winding L aux number of turns n aux The following relationship should be satisfied between them:

[0015]

[0016] At this time, the common-mode noise inverse cancellation circuit can completely cancel the common-mode conducted electromagnetic interference of the Boost converter, and achieve a good attenuation effect across the entire frequency band.

[0017] When the Boost power inductor and auxiliary winding are not ideally coupled, the capacitance C of the two compensation capacitors... comp1 With C comp2 The capacitance C of the parasitic capacitance to ground at the Boost converter jumper point parThe self-inductance L of the power inductor in the Boost converter and the mutual inductance M between the power inductor winding and the auxiliary winding should satisfy the following relationship:

[0018]

[0019] At this point, the common-mode noise reverse cancellation circuit can reverse cancel the common-mode conducted electromagnetic interference of the Boost converter in the low-frequency range of conducted electromagnetic interference, typically 150kHz-10MHz. However, due to the leakage inductance introduced by non-ideal coupling, the constructed compensation voltage has ringing, introducing an extremely high-frequency resonance peak to the converter. This resonance peak can be filtered out by an external filter or suppressed by adding a damping resistor to the injection branch. Since the resonance frequency is extremely high, the required external filter size is extremely small.

[0020] This invention constructs a structure that corresponds to the noise source v DS Compensation voltages v with the same waveform shape and proportional amplitude comp This invention also incorporates impedance matching to counteract common-mode conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) within the converter. Applicable to Boost converters, it completely cancels common-mode conducted EEMI under ideal coupling between the power inductor and auxiliary winding; under non-ideal coupling, it provides over 20dB of amplitude attenuation within a frequency range of 150kHz-5MHz. This invention features a simple structure, low cost, small size, and easy integration, making it widely applicable to Boost topology converters, such as DC-DC Boost converters and Boost-type PFCs.

After applying the reverse coupling circuit, the CEMI spectrum of the Boost converter shows significant attenuation in the low-frequency range, verifying the effectiveness of the circuit. In the high-frequency range, leakage inductance caused by non-ideal coupling results in a high resonant frequency peak, but due to the extremely high resonant frequency, it can be filtered out by a very small external passive filter.
