Protector Series (EMI Filters)
Product Description
Designing an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter stands as a pivotal element in the realm of electronic circuits and system design. At Horizon, we recognize the significance of EMI filters in today’s interconnected world of electrical systems. EMI filters serve the vital purpose of reducing or eliminating electromagnetic interference, a disruptive force that can compromise the optimal performance of electronic devices and even lead to unwanted interference with neighboring equipment.
Crafting these essential EMI filters entails a series of meticulous considerations and steps. We ensure that your systems are not only EMI-compliant but also more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable than ever before. From identifying the source of electromagnetic interference to determining the specific EMI standards your product must adhere to, we address each facet of EMI filter design.
Our expertise extends to defining the precise frequency range for attenuating EMI, catering to a broad spectrum, from low-frequency power line disturbances to high-frequency radio frequencies. We assist in selecting the most appropriate filter type, whether it’s a passive solution like RC, LC, or Pi filters, an active approach involving operational amplifiers, or specialized ferrite bead filters and common-mode chokes. Furthermore, we explore options like shielding and enclosures to enhance your system’s EMI resilience.
We assist in component selection, focusing on resistors, capacitors, inductors, and active components, ensuring they align seamlessly with your desired filter characteristics. We focus on circuit topology, strategically arranging components and connections, optimizing placement, grounding, and signal/power line routing.
Prototyping and real-world testing are integral to our process, enabling us to measure performance parameters such as attenuation and insertion loss. We provide comprehensive optimization, fine-tuning the filter design based on test results and simulations.
Compliance testing is a fundamental step at Horizon, ensuring that your EMI filter design meets and exceeds the required specifications, guaranteeing compliance with EMI standards and regulations. Our integration expertise facilitates the seamless inclusion of EMI filters into your electronic devices or systems, accounting for physical placement, grounding, and other integration factors.
Horizon offers holistic support for EMI filter design, delivering smaller, lighter, and more cost-effective solutions that elevate system performance, efficiency, and reliability. Our approach enables engineers to substantially reduce system size, weight, and cost while enhancing mechanical reliability and power density. Trust us to navigate the complexities of EMI filter design and achieve optimal results, backed by our expertise in EMC and RF engineering.
