Solution Overview

Problem

Existing EMI filters are ineffective in removing noise signals, particularly common-mode currents, and fail to address disturbance power (DP) noise.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device incorporating a power supply system with a common-mode filter comprising three inductors and capacitors, connected in specific configurations to effectively filter out noise signals, including a common-mode filter with first, second, and third inductors wound around cores, and a differential-mode filter connected with the second common-mode filter and X capacitor section.

Solution Approach 1:

The first, second, and third inductors of the common-mode filter are wound around a shared first core, merging their magnetic paths into a single common-mode choke structure. Similarly, the fourth and fifth inductors are wound around a shared second core. This merging approach improves common-mode current filtering effectiveness while consolidating the physical structure, reducing the number of separate components compared to using individual inductors for each function.
