LMZ14201H: LMZ14201H power module has any known issue wrt Radiated Susceptibility @ DO-160

Part Number: LMZ14201H
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR5994,

Hello All,

 

We are using LMZ14201HTZ/NOPB (SIMPLE SWITCHER® 6V to 42V, 1A High Output Voltage Power Module) on one of our Aviation product ( With Speaker for Chime tone, this product using MSP430FR5994 as well).

Which has to be comply with RF Susceptibility tests as per section 20.3a of DO-160G.

 

As of its Switching frequency configured to 350 to 384Khz.

While doing Radiated susceptibility test, we are seeing some unwanted noise coming from speaker ~ 360Mhz to 522Mhz onwards  ( power level 150V/m as per DO-160G table below)

 

We need to know, any of you faced these type of issue (LMZ14201H power module has any known issue wrt Radiated Susceptibility @ DO-160)

 

 Thanks in advance

 

Best Regards

  • Hi Anantha,

    What I can say about the LMZ14201H is that the radiated EMI test on an evaluation board for 12V output is well below the EN55022 / CISPRR 22 Class B limit line based on Figure 44. Of course this may be different in your application depending on PCB layout, EMI mitigation techniques, component placement, local external switching sources, etc. 

    If you are seeing unwanted noise from at that high of a frequency (360MHz - 522MHz) perhaps it may be necessary to attach a to include a high frequency input EMI filter reference from the SNVA834 App note (input filter discussed in Section 2.2.5). Attaching the EMI input filter not only helps with conducted EMI but also with radiated EMI.

  • Dear Jimmy,

    Thank you for your email. There is variations on EN & DO certification limit line

    We will cross check ur document.
