Filter & Ring Core Chokes FP, L and LP Series
Typical Application
The example in figure Reduction of voltage interference by
FP filters shows a switching regulator operating from a bat-
tery (Ri < 0.5 Ω) with long supply lines (e.g. 2 m). The result-
ing superimposed interference voltage USL may be meas-
ured at the regulators input. The connection of a filter in
front of the power supply will reduce this interference ac-
cordingly:
1. The regulator's source impedance is mainly inductive
because of the low battery impedance and the long sup-
ply lines. It can be calculated as follows:
l ZLine l ≅ 2 π • fS • LLine • 2 l
l ZLine l ≅ 2 π • (150 • 103) • 10-6 • 2 • 2 ≅ 3.8 Ω
fS: Switching frequency (150 kHz)
LLine : Supply line inductance (typically 1µH/m)
l : Length of single supply line (twice for posi-
tive and negative path)
2. This example shows, that with an inductive source im-
pedance of 3.8 Ω, the insertion of the filter results in an
interference voltage reduction of approx. 18 dB (see
fig.: Interference voltage reduction with FP filters at f =
150 kHz).
3. The original superimposed interference voltage will be
reduced by a factor of approx. 8:
USF = USL • 10–18/20 [V]

Low-Loss Ring Core Chokes L/LP-Series
The ring core chokes, in combination with a capacitor, may
easily be used for application specific LC filters at the input
or output of switched mode power supplies. All chokes are
suitable for PCB mounting. They are either moulded into
plastic cases or isolated from the PCB by means of an iso-
lation pad.
Series L/LP20-7 and LP34-3 are intended for use as differ-
ential mode filters and the current compensated choke
LP183 enables attenuation of common mode interference.

change according to the following equations: IL max = TC max –TA max
TA max = TC max – IL2 max • D TI
