Abstract: Electromagnetic interference (EMI) degrades the performance of electrical circuits and even leads to their malfunctioning. Suppressing EMI at product level is a challenge due to high frequency components in the product. Best way to suppress the effect of EMI is to optimize the circuit right at the component selection, schematic and PCB design levels. By following the best practices in the design, emissions (conducted and radiated) from the product can be reduced drastically. This paper reviews DC-DC (Buck) converters operation with respect to EMI (conducted and radiated emissions) and investigates the existing Circuit Design and PCB layout design techniques to reduce EMI in the buck converter design with the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.
