Design of Analogue Chaotic PWM for EMI Suppression

Abstract

An analogue chaotic carrier is designed to be embedded in a chaotic pulse width modulation (PWM) boost converter, and to be used for reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) in dc-dc converters. The analogue chaotic PWM has its advantages over the digital one in its low costs and easy-to-design, making it suitable for high-frequency operation and situations when design flexibility and low cost are required. Finally, simulations and experiments are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed analogue chaotic PWM in reducing EMI.
