Noise filtering
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A noise filter circuit for a power converter comprising one or more stages, comprising:
- a sensor coupled to a switching node of the power converter at which a current is selectively routed through a switch of the power converter, wherein a voltage on the switching node comprises a switch waveform which gives rise to current noise as a result of parasitic capacitance between the power converter and ground;
a processing stage electrically connected to the sensor and the power converter, wherein the processing stage is configured to process a sensor signal generated by the sensor and to provide a correction signal to a voltage line that is input into the power converter thereby to reduce the current noise.

Abstract
A noise filter circuit uses open loop signal processing to process the signal that causes the noise and generate a signal to be fed back into the system to cancel noise currents.
