ABSTRACT:
A power supply electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter circuit and technique. In one embodiment, a method of filtering EMI in a power supply includes rectifying an AC signal from an AC source, smoothing the rectified AC signal with a bulk storage capacitor to provide a DC output as an input to a power conversion circuit and filtering the EMI generated by the power conversion circuit from reaching the AC source by using the bulk capacitor and one or more inductors in combination with the AC source capacitance as an EMI filter. In one embodiment the method also includes the use of one or more of the inductors as a fusing element.
