REDUCED NOISE POWER CONVERTER USING NOVEL SHIELD

摘要

Power converters that produce less noise are disclosed. For example, in an embodiment, power converter can include a first inductor magnetically coupled to a second inductor, wherein a first end of the second inductor is electrically open and a second end of the second inductor is electrically coupled to ground via a second capacitor, a transistor electrically connected to the first inductor, and control circuitry to control switching of the transistor, wherein when the transistor is repeatedly switched on and off by the control circuitry, a current loop is formed through the transistor, the second capacitor, the first inductor and the second inductor, the current loop causing a reduced amount of switching noise to be generated by the power converter.
