The EMI noise source in a switching mode power supply is dominated by a common mode noise. If we can understand the common mode noise occurring mechanism, it is resulted to find out the method to suppress the EMI noise source in the switching mode power supply. The common mode noise is occurring mostly due to circuit is unbalanced which is caused by the capacitive coupling to frame ground, which passes through a heatsink of the switching devices. This research paper presents a new effective balancing method of buck converter circuit by mean of grounding the parasitic and compensation capacitors in correct proportion which is called that the common mode impedance balance (CMIB). The CMIB can be achieved by source, transmission line and termination balanced, such balancing, the common mode current will be cancelled out in the frame ground. The greatly reduced common mode noise can be confirmed by the experimental results.

Because conventional switching converters have been usually using unbalanced circuit topologies, parasitic capacitance between the drain/collector of an active switch and the frame ground through its heat sink may generate the common-mode conducted noise. We have proposed a balanced switching converter circuit, which is an effective way to reduce the common-mode conducted noise. As an example, a boost converter version of the balanced switching converter was presented and the mechanism of the common-mode noise reduction was explained using equivalent circuits. This paper extends the concept of the balanced switching converter circuit and presents a buck-boost converter version of the balanced switching converter. The feature of common-mode noise reduction is confirmed by experimental results and the mechanism of the common-mode noise reduction is explained using equivalent circuits.

The switch mode power supply is a source of EMI with other equipment as well as with its own proper operation because of rapid changes in voltages and currents within a switching converter. The EMI is transmitted in two forms: radiated and conducted. Conducted noise consists of two categories known as the differential mode and the common mode. Common mode noise current is a major source of EMI in the switch mode Power supply. Recently, a current balancing technique has been studied to reduce the common mode noise. This paper investigates the reduction of common mode noise according to a node expansion of the switch mode power supply which is based on a current balancing technique. In this paper, seven PCB patterns of the forward converter are manufactured and experimented.

A pulse-width modulation (PWM) method for common mode noise reduction in a PWM inverter connected to a single-phase grid is proposed in this study. The extensively used conventional switching method may experience common mode voltage problems, which generate current leakage and electromagnetic induction problems. In the proposed switching method, the neutral point of the output voltage is always fixed at both ends of the input voltage to reduce common mode noise. The validity of the proposed method is proven through simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, a compact common mode filter using passive elements is designed and fabricated. To design a common mode filter with required frequency response, the equivalent circuits of the common mode filter in differential mode and common mode were analyzed. Compared with the former filter using a ${\lambda}/4$ resonator, the size of the proposed structure was reduced by 60 %. The fabricated common mode filter has a maximum differential mode insertion loss of 1.2 dB and a minimum common mode absorption efficiency of 78.2% in the CMA - bandwidth of 27.5 %.

In some requirements of dc motor drive circuit applications are high quality output with generation of low internal conducted EMI. However the conventional dc motor drive circuits have been usually using unbalanced circuit which generates the high conducted EMI to the frame ground. This paper presents a balanced dc motor drive circuit which is effective way to reduce the common-mode noise. The circuit balancing is to make the noise pick up or occurring in both conductor lines, signal path and return path is equal in amplitude and opposite phase so that it will cancel out in the frame ground. The common-mode conducted noise reduction of this proposed dc motor drive is confirmed by experimental results.

This study reviews the common-mode noise model of indirect-contact ECG measurement which uses capacitive electrode and capacitive ground, and shows the reason of the large common-mode noise in indirect-contact ECG. And then, this study shows driven-right-leg ground in indirect-contact ECG measurement, and reviews how the driven-right-leg ground reduces the common-mode noise. This study then analyzes the relation between the effective area of the indirect-contact ground and the gain of the driven-right-leg circuit. This study introduces the output voltage saturation of the driven-right-leg circuit, which occurs frequently in indirect-contact ECG measurement with the condition of the high ground impedance. This study then shows the effect of the driven-right-leg circuit saturation on the common-mode noise.

This paper describes the application of a passive noise cancellation method to a prototype inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) resonant converter by placing a compensation winding in a transformer to reduce common mode noise. The connection method for the compensation winding is investigated. A circuit analysis is implemented for the displacement currents between the primary and secondary windings in the transformer. The analyzed displacement currents are verified by performing a circuit simulation and a proper compensation winding connection that reduces common mode noise is found. The measurement results show that common mode noise is reduced effectively up to 20 dB in the 1 to 7 MHz frequency region for the prototype LLC resonant converter by using the proposed passive noise cancellation method.

The flyback topology is being widely used in power adapters. The coupling capacitance between primary and secondary windings of a flyback transformer is the main path for common-mode (CM) noise conduction. A Y-cap is usually used to effectively suppress EMI noise. However, this results in problems in space, cost, and the danger of safety leakage current. In this paper, the CM noise behaviors due to the electric field coupling of the transformer windings in a flyback adapter with synchronous rectification are analyzed. Then a scheme with balance winding is proposed to reduce the CM noise with a transformer winding design that eliminates the Y-cap. The planar transformer has advantages in terms of its low profile, good heat dissipation and good stray parameter consistency. Based on the proposed scheme, with the help of a full-wave simulation tool, the key parameter influences of the transformer PCB winding design on CM noise are further analyzed. Finally, a PCB transformer for an 18W adapter is designed and tested to verify the effectiveness of the balance winding scheme.
