F & FC Series DC-DC Converter Input Filters
Introduction
Power-One offers a complete range of input filters to
help control EMI in board-level dc-dc converter
applications. The table below lists combinations of
input filters and dc-dc converters that have test data
available. These test results are presented only to
provide general guidelines, as EMI issues vary
considerably based on many variables specific to
each application.
Due to the large number of possible permutations of
dc-dc converters and input filters, not all
combinations have been tested. Therefore, please
refer to the data presented for each filter to select
filters that may work in combinations not specified
below.

Distributed Power Solutions
Description
The F4804A Input Filter minimizes the conducted and radiated emissions generated by switch mode dc-dc
converters, and allows board designs utilizing dc-dc converters to meet stringent FCC and EN55022 Class B
conducted emissions requirements. Filter F4804A is a fully compatible replacement for F4804, with improved
electrical and thermal characteristics.
Unlike most available off-the-shelf filter modules, the F4804A, in addition to common mode noise reduction
components, is provisioned with a differential LC-filter stage, which virtually guarantees compliance with
conducted noise standards across the frequency range from 150 kHz to 30 MHz, including fundamental switching
frequency and its harmonics. Test results show headroom of 15-20 dB for conducted noise quasi-peak levels, in
relation to Class B requirements.
F4804A filter is designed specifically for distributed power solutions in conjunction with dc-dc converters. Low
profile and small size (only 0.75 sq. in.) in a surface mount package helps the designer save system board real
estate, and simplifies the layout.
A single filter can be used with multiple converters, and is capable of providing up to 4 A to the converter input bus
at 85 °C. When used as specified within this data sheet, these filters do not require airflow and/or derating at high
temperatures.

F4804A, 0-80V, 4 Amps, SMT Mount
The F4804A filter contains input and output
capacitors, plus differential and common mode
inductors. The separate differential inductor, L2,
allows a differential attenuation of 55 dB, a value
substantially higher in comparison with other
available off-the-shelf filters (typically 25-30 dB).
Absolute maximum voltage and maximum operating
voltage in Electrical Specifications Table are for the
filter itself; check maximum rating for corresponding
dc-dc converters. Filter will not be damaged by
reversed input voltage, or by applying voltage to the
output pins.

Thermal Considerations
Because of low series internal DC resistance, the
F4804A filter generally does not require airflow
and/or derating to ambient temperatures up to 85
˚C,
if placed and interconnected as described below.
Good thermal design includes the appropriate
placement of the filter on the system board as to
maximize heat exchange through the power pins.
For high temperature operation in low airflow
environments, use of 1-2 oz copper for the external
connection pads and provision for some extra copper
at all four I/O pins is encouraged. Good thermal
connection to the power planes is important.
To check filter thermal characteristic in an actual
system environment, attach a thermocouple to the
top of each inductor.
The maximum temperature at these test points
should not exceed 120
˚C.
A typical application schematic is shown in Fig. 5.
The filter can be used to power one or more
converters.
For applications requiring filter current greater than
4 A divide the converters into smaller groups and
use multiple filters or use a F4810 or F2410 filter
which is capable of providing up to 10 A. Do not
connect filters in parallel.
