Dear team,
The customer are trying to add bead at input line like below for solving EMC issue(CE). Please review below concept/layout and let me know your opinion regarding side effect.

Thank you.
Dino,
I'd recommend populating the GND ferrite with a 0-ohm resistor for first tests. That ferrite will create a voltage difference between the GND of the supply and the GND of the device (and the rest of the board) which may cause worse common-mode noise.
You may also want some damping (bulk cap with ESR or ceramic cap with series resistor) to prevent any undesired oscillations on the input.
Other than that, yes, a ferrite bead is a great way to improve EMI.

Hello Samuel,
I have a related question.
As above question, the customer are trying to add bead to solve EMI Issue (Conducted Emission) but the issue is not clear.
Have you seen this issue(CE fail) in other projects? There is noise at switching frequency of DCP010505BP(about 780KHz ~ 800KHz) and harmonic frequency.
Please review above schematic and layout again and let me know your opinion regarding debug point to solve EMI issue(CE)
Thank you.
Dino,
Yes, all switchers will create EMI at their switching frequency and its harmonics. Reduce this EMI by adding input capacitance and more series impedance (inductor or ferrite) with the supply.
If you have further questions, please attach the EMI plot.

Hi Samuel,
Thank you for your prompt response.
please review attached EMI plot and let me know your opinion.
- Would you recommend input capacitance and series impedance?
- Adding ferrite on output path, Will this effect CE result?

Thank you.
Dino,
2MHz - 15MHz is relatively low frequency so adding capacitance may do the trick. If it's not enough, add a series inductor or ferrite bead.
-Sam
Adding a ferrite on the output path may not help considerably but it may be worth a quick test if this is a more convenience solution.
