Operational characteristics of a step-down converter applied proposed switching transient waveform modification

Recently, high performance power switching device realize high performance power converter. However, high speed turn-on and turn-off cause electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI filters or wire shields decrease EMI. However, they take over space of automotive, and cost is expense. Authors have proposed a new method to decrease high-frequency noise at specific frequency band with modification of switching transient slope. In order to realize a step-down converter with modified switching slope, there are several problems such as generating PWM signal with modified slope, feasibility in a real chopper circuit, switching loss and so on. In this paper, a step-down converter applied proposed modified switching slope was successfully realized using MT (Modified Transient)-PWM generator. The operational characteristics were analyzed for resistive load.
