Power-supply filter ICs

Reduce system size, weight and cost with stand-alone AEF ICs

parametric-filterView all products
Mitigating electromagnetic interference (EMI) has become more challenging given the large passive filters in power-supply systems. By acting as a capacitance amplifier, the active EMI filter (AEF) integrated circuits (ICs) in our power-supply filter IC portfolio make it possible to achieve up to 30 dB of additional EMI attenuation, reducing the inductance value of chokes in common-mode filters as much as 80%. AEF ICs make it possible to reduce the size, weight and cost of EMI filters in high-power-density solutions.

Common-mode AEF ICs

AEF ICs sense the common-mode EMI voltage disturbances and inject noise-canceling current back into power lines, effectively amplifying the filter capacitance and enabling the use of smaller chokes.

Extend capacitor life

By shrinking the size of large magnetics with our AEF ICs, you can reduce the amount of generated heat and improve system reliability.

Power trends

Mitigate EMI for increased performance

CISPR standards are the global benchmark for limiting EMI in electrical and electronic devices. Our highly integrated AEF ICs act as capacitive amplifiers, enabling you to significantly reduce emissions while maintaining the same filter size. Meet stringent EMI standards with greater margins using AEF ICs.
