Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 52, 19 36, 213 PARASITIC CAPACITANCE CANCEATION OF INTE- GRATED CM FITER USING BI-DIRECTIONA COU- PING GROUND TECHNIQUE Hui-Fen Huang and Mao Ye * School of Electronic and Information Engineering, University of Technology, Guangzhou, China South China Abstract This paper introduces a method for canceling the parasitic capacitance of integrated common mode (CM) filter by optimizing the layout of ground winding. Firstly, the CM filter with positive or negative coupling between the ground and inductor winding is researched, respectively. Then, the two coupling polarizes are combined to form the bi-directional coupling, simulation and measured results show bi-directional coupling ground can effectively improve the high frequency (HF) filtering performance. The equivalent circuits are given to demonstrate the cancellation mechanism, and modelling is derived for the design of ground winding. To further validate the application of proposed technique, CM noise and input/output signals for PFC (Power Factor Correction) converter with bi-directional coupling ground CM filter are simulated. The noise spectrums show conductive interference at high frequencies is effectively suppressed and meets the required electromagnetic interference (EMI) standard. 1. INTRODUCTION Power electronic equipments generate EMI due to high switching dv/dt and di/dt of power switching devices. An EMI filter is widely used to reduce these conducted emissions in practical circuits [1]. As discrete EMI filters have large profiles and poor HF performance, integrated EMI filters have been successfully proposed and implemented to solve these issues [2, 3]. An example structure is illustrated in Figure 1, where parameters 1, 2 represent the upper and lower layers of CM inductor windings which are via connected. 3 represents the ground winding and four terminals A, B, C, D are also marked. Besides, C p Received 15 March 213, Accepted 1 May 213, Scheduled 21 May 213 * Corresponding author: Mao Ye (y.mao@mail.scut.edu.cn).

Structure diagram for the CM winding. is the parasitic capacitance formed by the upper and lower inductor windings. C g is the CM capacitance formed by the lower inductor winding and the ground winding. Since the equivalent parallel capacitance (EPC) of the CM inductors C p leads to self-resonance, attenuation of high frequencies is deteriorated seriously [2]. Many works have been done to reduce the parasitic effect [2 19]. A staggered and interleaving winding structure reduced the parasitic winding capacitance with increased winding complexity and thickness in [3 5]. A grounded conductive layer was embedded between the CM inductor winding coils (1,2) to achieve EPC cancellation in [6, 7]. Moreover, the techniques realized by extra discrete passive devices are also proposed in [9 17]. As an alternative and convenient solution, the ground winding is newly laid out in this proposed technique, and measured results indicate the resonant frequency brought in by the EPC shifts from khz to several MHz higher. The effectiveness of the designed CM filter is also validated by simulating the CM noise and input/output signals for PFC converter. Pspice simulation results show that the HF noise suppression is improved and meets the standard. This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 researches the CM filter with unidirectional ground winding which is positively or negatively coupled with the inductor windings. Section 3 researches the CM filter with bi-directional ground winding which both positively and negatively coupled with the CM inductor winding. Finally, Section 4 concludes the paper. 2. RESEARCH FOR CM FITER WITH UNI-DIRECTIONA COUPING GROUND 2.1. Cancellation Mechanism The equivalent circuit of Figure 1 is shown in Figure 2(a), where the coupling coefficients k 2 and k 3 could be either positive or negative value.

Taking this into consideration, a small enough value of X is expected in design. In the integrated structure, since two windings are placed close together on a common axis and high-permeability ferrite core is used, it is easy to get high coupling coefficient. Then k i (i=1, 2, 3) can be assumed ±1 to simplify the analysis. Then the series admittance of π-equivalent circuit Y a in (4) can be simplified as: [ ] 1 ω 2 ( 1Decoup + 2Decoup )C p + 3DecoupC g 2 Y a = (8) jω( 1Decoup + 2Decoup ) In order to make Y a the admittance of an ideal inductor, it should equal 1/[jω( 1Decoup + 2Decoup )], which means that the parasitic capacitance of CM inductor does not exist anymore. According to (8), the ground winding is optimized in order to make C g satisfy the following condition. C g = 2( 1Decoup+ 2Decoup )C p 2( 1 + 2 ) 2 C p = 3Decoup 1 2 1 3 ± (9) 2 3 3 Then Figure 3 can be further specified to an ideal π-shape filter as shown in Figure 4.

The ports are also marked, where means line, N neutral and G ground. The current of ground winding is negative couple with current of CM inductor windings. During optimization, the width of ground conductor keeps as 1.2 mm. The parameter marked in Figure 8 is optimized to satisfy the capacitance value C g in (9), and the final optimized = 37.8 mm.

For positive coupling ground case, Table 2 lists the value of C g corresponding to different number of turns N of ground winding.

Compared with the negative coupling case, the attenuation at several MHz is improved for positive coupling case due to the increased CM capacitance C g. However, the filtering characteristics are still compromised at higher frequencies. 2.3. Cancellation Effectiveness In the analysis above, all three couplings are assumed to be ideal. Besides, EPC only represents the first parallel resonance between inductor and the parasitic capacitance. However, these assumptions cannot be satisfied in the real application, especially at high frequencies. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze their influences on cancellation effectiveness. 2.3.1. Non-ideal Couplings According to (7), the value of X is mainly determined by the three coupling coefficients k i (i=1, 2, 3). To demonstrate this, a Pspice simulatio n is set up as shown in Figure 8. Simulated insertion losses with different coupling coefficients from.99 to 1 are depicted in Figures 9(a) (c). In addition, three special cases are shown in Figure 9(d), where a small enough X is obtained while k i (i=1, 2, 3) not be unity. It can be concluded that coupling coefficients have significant impact on EPC cancellation; the higher value of coupling coefficients, the better HF performance can be achieved. Figure 8.

High-order Resonance It should be noted that the model given in this paper is only suitable below a certain frequency. As can be seen in Figure 1, divergence appears between the measured and modeled admittance curves of CM inductor prototype at higher frequencies.

To illustrate the validity and limitation of proposed equivalent circuits, Figure 11 shows the insertion loss comparison between the equivalent circuit and measured prototype, and the circuit parameters are listed in Table 3. It can be seen that the two curves will not keep consistent at high frequencies. As discussed, the difference is mainly caused by high-order resonance. Besides, the conductor resistance and parasitic inductance of CM capacitor are also ignored since they have no sufficient influence as EPC. However, the design strategy according to proposed equivalent circuit can still effectively enhance the interference suppression. Table 3. Circuit parameters.

Compared with two uni-directional cases, bi-directional layout further improves the attenuation by 2 db in the frequency range beyond several MHz.

Moreover, the comparison between the proposed method and the embedded conductor method can be seen from the insertion loss and the phase comparisons in Figure 19. It is evident that while the proposed integrated CM filter with bi-directional ground did not increase the number of layers, its characteristic is as good as the one with embedded conductor layers over a wider frequency range. To illustrate the coupling polarity, the current density distributions for the conductor windings are simulated at 1 MHz. Figures 2(a) (b) show the current distributions for upper and lower inductor windings. Figure 2(c) shows the current distribution of the bi-directional coupling ground winding. It can be seen that there exist reversed direction current distributions in the ground winding, which matches the theoretical analysis. It should be pointed out that the modification of optimizing ground winding does not change different mode (DM) components of the EMI filter; therefore the DM performance will not be affected.

32 Huang and Ye 3.2. Application for Power Switching Circuit To further validate the effectiveness of proposed CM filter, the circuit of PFC converter for a power switching circuit was simulated using the circuit simulator Pspice. The schematic and circuit parameters of the PFC converter for conducted EMI prediction is shown in Figure 21. The MOSFET operating at 2 khz switching frequency is the main noise sources in switched mode power supplies. As signed, the voltages measured across the two 5 Ω impedances V, V N are defined by the conducted EMI, and the CM noise voltage is expressed as V CM = (V + V N )/2. The noise spectrums from 1 khz to 3 MHz are derived from time domain simulation followed by FFT analysis, as shown in Figure 22. Comparing the following simulated noise curves: (1) The gray curve shows the noise spectrum when no CM filter is applied; (2) The blue curve shows the noise spectrum when the integrated CM filter with conventional ground is applied; (3) The green curve shows the noise spectrum when the integrated CM filter with proposed i in 5µH ISN Bridge Rectifier PFC Inductor 45 µh V AC U in 22 V 5 Hz 5µH V.1µF 5Ω.1µF 5Ω V N Gate Driver CooIMOS SiC Diode C C 5 pf 28µF i out U out 15 Ω Figure 21.

Clearly, the CM conductor noise is above the standard in the entire frequency band for case (1). The CM noise also cannot meet the standard at frequencies beyond several khz for case (2). Simulation result shows that the noise suppression is greatly improved and meets the standard for case (3), which confirms the effectiveness of the developed parasitic cancellation technique in this paper.

34 Huang and Ye input voltage is standard sine wave and that input current has some harmonics and noise. These harmonics and noise can be effectively reduced by applying an EMI filter connected at the input side of PFC converter. The output voltage and output current of PFC converter with EMI filter are shown in Figure 23(b). As can be seen, the output voltage is almost constant 4 V. 4. CONCUSION In this paper, parasitic capacitance of integrated EMI filter is effectively cancelled by using modified ground layer. The simplified equivalent circuits were derived to demonstrate the cancellation mechanism, and main influence factors in implementation were also investigated. Then bi-directional ground winding has been developed and implemented based on the detail analysis of two different unidirectional cases. Simulated and experimental results were presented to confirm the application of proposed technology. In addition, the effectiveness of the CM filter with bi-directional coupling ground is further validated by simulating the CM noise spectrums and input/output signals for PFC converter. Simulation results show that the noise suppression is greatly improved and meets the EMI standard. Since no extra component is required during the design process, the proposed technique is a simple and low-cost way.
