New Line of Ac-Dc Power Filters Addresses EMC and Surge Compliance

TUALATIN, Ore. — March 19, 2019 — CUI’s Power Group today announced the addition of ac-dc power filters, designed to accompany its existing portfolio of low power embedded ac-dc power supplies. The EMC‑20 ( https://www.cui.com/product/power/power-filters/ac-dc-power-filters/emc-20-series ) and EMC‑30 ( https://www.cui.com/product/power/power-filters/ac-dc-power-filters/emc-30-series ) series offer 20 dB and 30 dB of ac-line noise filtering at 150 kHz to 1 GHz, respectively. Available in compact board mount, chassis mount, and DIN rail configurations, the models ensure surge compliance to the IEC/EN61000-4-5 standard and reduce conducted and radiated emissions to help designs comply with CISPR22/EN55022 Class B limits.

CUI’s ac-dc EMC filters further feature a wide input voltage range from 85 to 305 Vac and accept up to 1.5 A of nominal input current. A 2,000 Vac isolation voltage and wide operating temperature range from -40 to +85°C affords additional ruggedness in harsh environments. These ac-dc power filters ultimately provide engineers with a convenient modular solution for addressing EMC and surge challenges, while reducing the need for additional external components.

The EMC‑20 and EMC‑30 series are available immediately with prices starting at $6.95 per unit at 500 pieces through distribution. Please contact CUI for OEM pricing.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
