DESCRIPTION
The SFCS-461™ Series EMI filter modules are specifically
designed to reduce the reflected input ripple current of high
frequency DC/DC converters. SFCS28-461 filters minimize electro-
magnetic interference (EMI) for Interpoint’s space application
converters. These filters are intended for use in 28 volt applications
which must meet MIL-STD-461 levels of conducted emissions. One
filter can be used with multiple converters up to the rated throughput
current of the filter.
SCREENING AND REPORTS
The SFCS28-461 filter offers three screening options – Standard,
Class H, or Class K. See Section C2, Quality Assurance, pages C2-
7 through C2-9, for descriptions. Detailed reports on product
performance are also available and are listed on page C2-9.
INPUT RIPPLE AND EMI
Switching DC/DC converters naturally generate two noise compo-
nents on the power input line: differential noise and common mode
noise. Input ripple current refers to both of these components.
Differential noise occurs between the positive input and input
common. Most Interpoint converters have an input filter that reduces
differential noise which is sufficient for most applications.
Common mode noise occurs across stray capacitances between
the converter s power train components and the baseplate (bottom
of the package) of the converter.
Where low noise currents are required to meet CE03 of MIL-STD-
461, a power line filter is needed. The SFCS28-461 Series of EMI
power line filters reduces the common mode and differential noise
generated by the converters. SFCS28-461 filters reduce input ripple
current by as much as 60 dB at 500 kHz and 55 dB at 1 MHz when
used in conjunction with Interpoint’s DC/DC converters.
The filter must be placed as close as possible to the converter for
optimum performance. The baseplates of the filter and the converter
should be connected with the shortest and widest possible conduc-
tors. For the best connection, mount the filter’s and converter’s
baseplates on or above a small ground plane.
OPERATION OVER TEMPERATURE
All SFCS28-461 Series filters are rated for full power operation from
–55°C to +125°C case temperature. Current is derated linearly to
zero at +135°C case temperature.
INSERTION LOSS
The maximum dc insertion loss at full load and nominal input voltage
represents a power loss of less than 4%.

SFCS28-461filters are sealed in metal hermetic side-leaded pack-
ages.
