Common Mode and Differential Mode noise of AC/DC LED Driver

Abstract

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) represents one of the biggest problems facing the production of any electronic device. The impact on the performance of the device caused such unwanted interference must be carefully measured to understand and quantify the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the instrument under test. The electrical power conversions are among the sources of electromagnetic pollution, they provide a low power factor and generate electromagnetic interference (EMI). The white light emitting diode (LED) has attracted a lot of attention from industry and scientific researchers due to its high efficiency, easy of driving, and long life. Nevertheless, LED driver can interfere with the electronic device system due to rapid voltage variation and current. In this paper we simulate some LED driver topology on LTspice software in order to measure the electromagnetic disturbances using LISN (line impedance stabilizer network) device.
