Patent number: 11303264Abstract: An active filter reduces Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) created by current flowing through a power line. The active filter connects to the power line at a single node through a connection capacitor. A sense current flows through the connection capacitor when the power line current changes. This sense current is applied to a non-inverting input of an op amp to drive a power amplifier circuit through a filter capacitor. The power amplifier circuit increases the current drive of the op amp to charge a transfer capacitor that converts the power amplifier output current to a transfer voltage. The transfer capacitor is connected to the connection capacitor so that the transfer voltage is injected back into the power line through the connection capacitor as an injected voltage that compensates for the sensed current. Op amp gain is adjustable by variable resistors that connect to the inverting input of the op amp.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company LimitedInventors: Danting Xu, Ziyang Gao, Kun Wu
