Abstract
As electronic systems become smaller and more portable, the need for power conversion continues to increase. In addition, system stability must be ensured from switching noise due to power conversion efficiency and power conversion system miniaturization. Therefore, countermeasures to reduce switching noise during power conversion are essential. In this paper, a DC/DC buck converter circuit is constructed, and the characteristics of switching noise generated when changing the parts layout in a four-layer printed circuit board (PCB) structure with a reference plane are compared and analyzed. In addition, switching noise characteristics were compared and analyzed through simulations when the parts layout was different in a two-layer PCB structure from which the reference planes were removed. As a result, it was confirmed that the radiated emissions characteristic is reduced by 12dB and the conducted emissions characteristic decreased by 7dB to 8dB, according to the current return path in the four-layer PCB structure. Thus, it was confirmed that the noise characteristics can be improved according to the configuration of the current return path when the power conversion circuit is designed.
