Commercial products are generally designed to minimise the amount of electromagnetic interference (EMI) produced during normal operation. Numerous governing bodies regulate the permissible levels of conducted and radiated emissions generated by an end product in order to maintain electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

The focus of the whitepaper from Texas Instruments is on EMI standards for conducted emissions, particularly those relevant to automotive, communications and industrial applications. Power converters embedded within products for these market sectors demand high switching frequencies, advances in circuit topologies and high-speed switching power devices.

EMI is an increasingly significant and challenging topic for fast-switching power converters. Moreover, the EMI filter required to achieve regulatory compliance can represent a significant portion of the overall system footprint, volume and cost. Thus, an understanding of the EMI standards pertaining to the application is essential.
