Applications Information
EMI Sources
Many of the components in today’s power conversion modules are
sources of high-frequency EMI noise generation. Diodes, high-frequency
switching devices, transformers and inductors, and circuit layouts passing
high dv/dt or di/dt signals are all potential sources of EMI.
EMI is propagated either by radiated or conductive means. Radiated EMI
can be sourced from these components as well as by circuit loops that act
like antennas and broadcast the noise signals to neighboring circuit paths.
This also means that these loops can act as receivers of a broadcasted
signal. This radiated EMI noise can be reduced by proper circuit layout
and by shielding potential sources of EMI transmission.
There are two basic forms of conducted EMI that typically need to be
filtered; namely common-mode (CM) and differential-mode (DM) EMI.
Differential-mode resides in the normal power loop of a power source
and its load; where the signal travels from the source to the load and
then returns to the source. Common-mode is a signal that travels through
both leads of the source and is returned to earth via parasitic pathways,
either capacitively or inductively coupled.
Figure 10 to Figure 17 are the resulting EMI plots of the total noise, both
common and differential mode, of Vicor’s PRM/VTM and BCM® evaluation
modules, under various loads, after filtering by the QPI-12LZ. The red and
blue traces represent the positive and negative branches of total noise, as
measured using an industry standard LISN setup, shown in Figures 4
and 5. The PRM® and VTM® evaluation boards are mounted to a Picor®
QPI-12-CB1 board for testing. The QPI-12CB1 carrier is designed to
accept both the PRM/VTM combination of evaluation boards, as well as
the stand-alone BCM evaluation board.
The differential-mode EMI is typically larger in magnitude than commonmode, since common-mode is created by the physical imbalances in the
differential loop path. Reducing differential EMI will cause a reduction in
common-mode EMI.
EMI Filtering
The basic premise of filtering EMI is to insert a high-impedance, at the
EMI’s base frequency, in both the differential and common-mode paths
as it returns to the power source.
Passive filters use common-mode chokes and “Y” capacitors to filter out
common-mode EMI. These chokes are designed to present a highimpedance at the EMI frequency in series with the return path, and a low
impedance path to the earth signal via the “Y” caps. This network will
force the EMI signals to re-circulate within a confined area and not to
propagate to the outside world. Often two common-mode networks are
required to filter EMI within the frequency span required to pass the
EN55022 Class B limits.
The other component of the passive filter is the differential LC network.
Again, the inductor is chosen such that it will present a high-impedance
in the differential EMI loop at the EMI’s base frequency. The differential
capacitor will then shunt the EMI back to its source. The QPI-12 was
specifically designed to work with higher switching frequency converters
like Vicor’s VI Chip® products; PRM, VTM and BCM modules; as well as
their newer VI Brick™ product series.

EMI Management
The more effectively EMI is managed at the source, namely the power
converter, the less EMI attenuation the filter will have to do. The addition
of “Y” capacitors to the input and output power nodes of the converter
will help to limit the amount of EMI that tries to propagate to the input
source.
There are two basic topologies for the connection of the recirculating “Y”
capacitors. In Figure 4 the open-frame topology is shown in Picor’s EMI
test setup. The “Y” capacitors (CY1 to CY4) recirculate the EMI signals
between the positive input and output, and the negative input and
output of the power conversion stage.
Figure 5 shows the baseplate topology of recirculating “Y” caps. Here,
CY5 to CY10 are connected to each power node of the PRM and VTM,
and then are commoned together on a copper shield plane created under
the converter. The addition of the copper shield plane helps in the
containment of the radiated EMI, converting it back to conducted EMI
and shunting it back to its source.
Both of these topologies work well with the PRM/VTM combination
shown above in attenuating noise levels well below Class B EMI limits.

When using the QPI-12 with a Vicor PRM/VTM or BCM, in a power system
that requires the converter’s output to be connected to chassis/earth, Picor
recommends using the open-frame configuration of “Y” capacitors,
shown in Figure 18, to re-circulate EMI currents. A base-plate configuration
could also be used with a slight decrease in EMI attenuation, but with
peaks well below class B limits.
The plot in Figure 20 is of a B048F120T30, with a 125W load, with the
output ground connected to the chassis. When using the open-frame
configuration of “Y” caps, the EMI shield plane is not used by the “Y”
capacitors for recirculating EMI currents.
This configuration would also be recommended for a QPI-12 with a
PRM/VTM pair, configured as shown in Figure 2.
The QPI-12 is not designed to be used in parallel with another QPI-12 to
achieve a higher current rating, but it can be used multiple times within a
system design.

QPI-12 PCB Layout Recommendations
Figure 25 — 3D view of paralleling planes underneath the QPI-12.
The filtering performance of the QPI-12 is sensitive to capacitive
coupling between its input and output pins. Parasitic plane
capacitance must be kept below one pico-Farad between inputs and
outputs using the layout shown above and the recommendations
described below to achieve maximum conducted EMI performance.
the recommended PCB layout on a two-layer board. Here, the top
layer planes are duplicated on the bottom layer so that there can be
no overlapping of input and output planes. This method can be used
for boards of greater layer count.
To avoid capacitive coupling between input and output pins, there
should not be any planes or large traces that run under both input
and output pins, such as a ground plane or power plane. For
example, if there are two signal planes or large traces where one
trace runs under the input pins, and the other under the output pins,
and both planes overlap in another area, they will cause capacitive
coupling between input and output pins. Also, planes that run under
both input and outputs pins, but do not cross, can cause capacitive
coupling if they are capacitively by-passed together. Figure 25 shows
Post Solder Cleaning
Picor’s LZ version QuitePower SiPs are not hermetically sealed and
must not be exposed to liquid, including but not limited to cleaning
solvents, aqueous washing solutions or pressurized sprays. When
soldering, it is recommended that no-clean flux solder be used, as
this will ensure that potentially corrosive mobile ions will not
remain on, around, or under the module following the soldering
process. For applications where the end product must be cleaned
in a liquid solvent, Picor recommends using the QPI-12LZ-01,
open-frame version of the EMI filter.
