In a recent press briefing, Texas Instruments (TI) spoke about low electromagnetic interference (EMI) as a key trend in power management, as it minimizes the interference of power supplies with other system components and simplifies the engineers’ design and qualification processes.

TI’s Cecelia Smith, vice president and general manager for Boost and Multi-Channel DC/DCs, and Ganesh Srinivasan, product line manager for Wide VIN Buck Switching Regulators, talked about how meeting industry EMI standards and lowering conducted and radiated emissions is a key concern for engineers designing power systems for automotive and industrial applications. Increasing electronic content as well as increasing switching speeds for DC-to-DC solutions pose new challenges for power supply designers.

The development of new packaging and new semiconductor innovations and new modeling techniques for power management offer many tools for lowering EMI. It is crucial to reduce the low-EMI power supply design’s size, reducing the number of components and the cost of the passive filter. This can also help reduce design time and complexity.
