A Structured Approach to Power Line EMI Filter Design

Daniel M. Mitchell
Rockwell International

Abstract: This tutorial presents detailed design algorithms for proven EMI input filter configurations for switching regulated power supplies. Lagrangian multipliers are used to minimize input filter volume subject to the constraints of (1) compliance with conducted emissions requirements (using switching regulator noise models) and (2) overall filter/regulator system stability/performance goals (using small-signal models).

Passive Lossless Snubbers for High Frequency PWM Converters

Sam Ben-Yaakov and Gregory Ivensky
Ben-Gurion University of Negev

Abstract: This tutorial covers the theoretical aspects of passive lossless snubbers for switches and diodes, covering both "classical" and new snubber topologies. The main focus is on the practical aspects of the design including resonant components and analysis of the limitations that the snubbers impose. A specific design example of a snubber for a 1 kW boost converter operating as an active power factor front-end is discussed in detail and experimental results are presented.

Advanced Single Stage Power Factor Correction Techniques

Fred C. Lee and
Jinrong Qian

Virginia Power Electronics Center

Abstract: This tutorial will provide an overview of single stage power factor correction techniques. The integrated single stage PFC technique will be discussed. The concept of charge pump PFC techniques, unity power factor conditions for both voltage source and current source charge pump PFC converters will be introduced and discussed. A family of charge pump PFC topologies and experimental results will be presented.
