Abstract

In this study, a simulation investigation was conducted on the method of reducing switching noise and spurious emission among design methods for step-down DC-DC converter modules for automotive. A typical 4-layer converter circuit using a PMIC(Power Management Integrated Circuit) chip was presented, and the simulation results of conductive emissions at two input terminals (+, -) and the point between the input filter and the PMIC was performed in the 1.0~5.0MHz band and the 100MHz band. The results for the conducted and radiated emissions in the HF(3~30MHz) and VHF(30-300MHz) bands were presented. It showed an improvement of about 10dB over the bands by routing the output terminal placed on the 3 or 4-layer in the opposite direction to the input terminal. The result of this study is expected to be useful in the design of the DC-DC converter modules in the future because it gives a better improvement compared to the existing methods.

본 연구에서는 자동차용 강압 DC-DC 컨버터 모듈 설계 방법 중 변조 스위칭 잡음과 전자파 방사의 감소방법에 대한 시뮬레이션 연구가 수행되었다. PMIC(Power Management Integrated Circuit) 칩을 이용한 4층 PCB 기본 회로가 제시되었고, 컨버터 모듈의 두 입력단자(+, -) 및 입력 필터와 PMIC 사이에서의 전자파 잡음과 전자기 방사 특성에 대한 시뮬레이션이 1.0~5.0MHz 대역과 100MHz 대역에서 수행되었다. 전도성 방사 특성은 3.0MHz와 104MHz에 대한 결과를 제시하였고, 입력포트로 되돌아오는 전도성 방사를 줄이기 위해 컨버터 출력 단자를 PCB의 3층 혹은 4층에 입력단의 전류 흐름과 반대되는 방향으로 배치하여 평균 10dB 이상의 개선효과가 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 지금까지 제시된 불요 전자파 감소 방법에 비해 개선효과가 높아 향후 컨버터 모듈 설계에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
