Description
The F4810 and F2410 Input Filters minimize the conducted and radiated emissions generated by switch mode
DC-DC converters, and allow board designs utilizing Q
&& Family converters to meet stringent FCC and EN55022
Class B conducted emissions requirements.
Using these filters as the primary power-conditioning device in front of any of the Q
&& Family converters will
provide a “worry-free” EMI design. Unlike most available off-the-shelf filter modules, the F4810 and F2410, in
addition to common mode noise reduction components, are provisioned with a differential LC-filter stage, which
virtually guarantees compliance with conducted noise standards across the frequency range from 150 kHz to 30
MHz, including fundamental switching frequency and its harmonics. Test results show headroom of 15-20 dB for
conducted noise quasi-peak levels, in relation to Class B requirements.
F4810/F2410 filters are designed specifically for distributed power solutions in conjunction with Q
&& Family DC-
DC converters. Low profile and small size (less than 1 sq. in.) in a surface mount package helps the designer save
system board real estate, and simplifies the layout.
A single filter can be used with multiple converters, and is capable of providing up to 10A to the converter input
bus at 85°C. When used as specified within this datasheet, these filters do not require airflow and/or derating at
high temperatures.

The F4810 and F2410 filters contain input and output
capacitors, plus differential and common mode
inductors. Shown in Fig. 1, the schematic diagrams
of both filters are similar, the only difference are
changes in C1, C2 capacitor values. The separate
differential inductor, L2, allows a 50 differential
attenuation of 60 dB across the stated frequency
range, a value substantially higher in comparison
with other available off-the-shelf filters (typically 25-
30 dB).
The F4810 can be used in 24V or 48V systems
without any limitations; however, in 24V systems the
F2410 differential attenuation is better. At low
frequencies around 100-200 kHz the difference is
20dB, but at high frequencies the plots are close to
identical.
Absolute maximum voltage and maximum operating
voltage in Electrical Specifications Table are for the
filter itself; check maximum rating for corresponding
DC-DC converters. Filter will not be damaged by
reversed input voltage, or by applying voltage to the
output pins.

Thermal Considerations
Because of low series internal DC resistance, the
F4810/F2410 filters generally do not require airflow
and/or derating to ambient temperatures up to 85˚C,
if placed and interconnected as described below.
Good thermal design is consistent with appropriate
placement to gain additional heat exchange through
the I/O pins to the system board. For high
temperature operation in low airflow environments,
use of 1-2 oz copper for the external connection pads
and provision for some extra copper at all four I/O
pins is encouraged. Thermal Derating data shown
were taken on special thermal board with each input
and output pin connected to 0.5 sq. in pad of 2 oz
copper.
To check filter thermal characteristic in an actual
system environment, attach a thermocouple to the
top of differential inductor, L2; it is the INDUCTOR
closest to OUT+ pin.
The maximum temperature at this test point should
not exceed 120˚C, and a minimum of 5-10˚C
headroom is suggested for better reliability.
A typical application schematic is shown in Fig. 5. Either
filter can be used to power one or more converters.
Maximum filter output current should be limited 10A - or
less - depending upon system thermal environment.
The required filter current drawn by the converter loads,
IREQ’d(Filter), will be the sum of the loads of all connected
converters:
IREQ’d(filter) = Σ[Pi,OUT/(VIN, min * ηi, min)] [A]
where:
IREQ’d(filter) maximum required filter current
Pi,OUT(converter) converter output power, i=1, 2…
= Vi,OUT(converter) * Ii,OUT(converter)
VIN, min converter input voltage
ηi, min converter minimum efficiency, i=1,
2,…
For applications requiring a filter current greater than
10A, divide the converters into smaller groups and use
multiple filters. Do not connect filters in parallel.

For additional information regarding layout and
EMC, refer to Application notes 100 and 101.
The following bulleted items are considerations
regarding the external components for the
typical application shown in Fig. 5.
Input electrolytic capacitor C1. We recommend 1-
2 µF/W for 48V applications, and 2-4 µF/W for
24V applications. This capacitor is needed to
ensure stability of converters in presence of their
negative input impedance characteristic. Note that
electrolytic capacitors at –40ºC have 3-5 times
less capacitance than at room temperature, and
therefore it is good practice to check the power
system at worst case conditions from this point of
view, i.e. lowest ambient temperature, minimum
input voltage, and maximum load. If electrolytic
capacitors are restricted for use in the system,
please contact the factory.
Input capacitors C2, C3 are optional; they
decrease input ripple current and improve EMI.
One or two of the following ceramic chip
capacitors, as required, per converter are
recommended:
TDK C4532X7R2A105, 1.0 µF, 100V - for 48V
applications
TDK C4532X7R1H475, 4.7 µF, 50V - for 24V
applications
Common-mode capacitor (Y-cap) values and
their EMI attenuation effects depend on system
grounding and layout (they are not shown on Fig.
5). In EMI testing with the filter, ceramic
capacitors between input and output of the
converter (C4 – C7) were very helpful. Typical
values for the capacitor between Vin- and Vout-
are 3,300pF – 5,100pF, and for the capacitor
between Vin+ and Vout+, 0 to 3,300pF.
If connection of capacitors between input and
output is prohibited because of system
restrictions, connect Y-capacitors only from each
input pin to system ground. The value of these
capacitors in this case is “the bigger the better”
(preferably 0.1µF or larger). Voltage rating of Y-
capacitors depends on the system isolation and
safety requirements.
Output capacitors C8, C9 are optional to reduce
output ripple. Addition of one-two 47µF ceramic
capacitors, for example, for low voltage
applications 3.3V and below, significantly
decreases output ripple from 25-40mV peak-to-
peak to 5-10mV. Recommended capacitor for
these low voltage applications is
C3225X5ROJ476 from TDK.
UL testing was performed with a 12A fuse
(R451012 from Littelfuse). Fuses larger than 12A
should not be used. Smaller value fuses can be
used as required for protection to a lower power
limit.
