Evaluation Module Overview
1 Evaluation Module Overview
1.1 Introduction
The
TPSF12C1EVM-FILTER
of the
TPSF12C1
active filter IC. The EVM helps to improve the CM EMI signature in single-phase AC power
systems.
The TPSF12C1 provides a low shunt impedance path for CM noise in the frequency range of interest for EMI
measurement and helps to meet prescribed limits for EMI standards, such as:
•
CISPR 11, EN 55011 – Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) applications
•
CISPR 25, EN 55025 – Automotive applications
•
CISPR 32, EN 55032 – Multimedia applications
Enabling up to 30 dB of CM noise reduction at the lower end of specified frequency ranges (for example, 100
kHz to 3 MHz) significantly reduces the footprint, volume, weight and cost of the CM filter implementation,
especially the CM choke components that are designed to attenuate lower-order harmonics – and hence are
large size. The TPSF12C1 senses the high-frequency noise on each power line using two Y-rated sense
capacitors and injects a noise-canceling current back into the power lines using a Y-rated inject capacitor. The
GND terminal of the EVM requires a direct, low-inductance connection to the chassis ground or Earth terminal of
the filter circuit.

(1)
The nominal VDD supply voltage (relative to chassis GND) of the TPSF12C1 is 12 V.
(2)
Verify that the INJ pin voltage swing is between the prescribed limits to avoid saturation and clipping.
(3)
The expected EMI reduction with this EVM is up to 30 dB (with the TPSF12C1 enabled vs. disabled) when swept from 100 kHz
to 3 MHz. This performance metric can change based on the VDD supply voltage, passive filter component values, active circuit
compensation and damping component values, ambient temperature, and other parameters.
