QPI-12 Evaluation Boards Part # QPI-12-CB1 Description: A QPI-12LZ mounted on a carrier board that can hold either a stand-alone BCM or a paired PRM/VTM evaluation board available from Vicor. Picor Corporation * picorpower.com QPI-12 Rev 2.0, Page 2 of 12 QPI-12 QUIETPOWER Applications Information EMI Sources combination of evaluation boards, as well as the stand-alone BCM evaluation board. 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. Differential-mode EMI is typically larger in magnitude than common-mode, 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 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. EMI Filtering The basic premise of filtering EMI is to insert a highimpedance, at the EMI's base frequency, in both the differential and common-mode paths as it returns to the power source. 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. Passive filters use common-mode chokes and "Y" capacitors to filter out common-mode EMI. These chokes are designed to present a high-impedance 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. 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 QPI12-CB1 carrier is designed to accept both the PRM/VTM 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 V*I ChipTM products; PRM, VTM and BCM modules; as well as their newer VI BrickTM product series.

EMI Management Figure 5 shows the base-plate topology of re-circulating "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. 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 propagates 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) re-circulate the EMI signals between the positive input and output, and the negative input and output of the power conversion stage. Both of these topologies work well with the PRM/VTM combination shown above in attenuating noise levels well below class B EMI limits.

Figure 18 - BCM converter in open-frame configuration with the output connected to chassis/earth. Figure 19 - PRM/VTM in open-frame configuration with the output connected to the chassis/earth. 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. Figure 20 - Total noise plot of BCM with its output connected to chassis, as shown in Figure 18, 125W load. 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.

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 1 pico-Farad between inputs and outputs using the layout shown above and the recommendations described below to achieve maximum conducted EMI performance. shows the recommended pcb layout on a 2 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 over lap 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 Picor Corporation * picorpower.com QPI-12 Post Solder Cleaning Picor's LZ version QP 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.
