So, FBs are not needed? Even if I need to improve EMC and reduce EMI in my design? The device will be powered from remote point (up to 15 V AC) and will communicate throught RS-485. I do not know where to place them in the case of need... It's better to have the rectifier and storage cap in the remote supply and to have a pi-filter at the input of switcher providing an excellent dampening of switching frequency. Then, usually, an additional filtering is not necessary. In the case, that your device produces a lot of common mode noise, you should have a common mode choke at the input of pi-filter of switcher. This can also be snap-on ferrite, for instance. Lukas said:
There are 2 different connectors that can be used to power the device and in addition there is a relay to control door opener powered by AC. But this segment of design is on the other side of PCB far away from MCU and signals. I hope it is not mistake that the power and gnd planes are under the relay too. Without knowing more about your circuit, I can only say, that the traces to the rectifier can be extremely noisy and should not form any loop! Route them in parallel and as close as possible. Reduce their length to the absolute minimum. Also, this AC voltage should not power other parts like the door opener. Everything connected to the rectifier inputs is contaminated by the switching noise from the acting rectifier. Kai |
