Patent number: 7423520Abstract: A noise suppressing circuit comprises: windings (W11, W12) inserted to conductor lines (3, 4) at respective points (P11a, P11b) and coupled to each other through a magnetic core (11); a winding (W13) coupled to the windings (W11, W12) through the core (11); capacitors (12, 13) having ends connected to the conductor lines (3, 4) at respective points (P12a, P12b) and the other ends connected to an end of the winding (W13); and windings (W14, W15) inserted to conductor lines (3, 4) at respective points (P13a, P13b) and coupled to each other through a magnetic core (14). These components reduce common mode noise. Capacitors (16, 17) reduce normal mode noise in cooperation with leakage inductances produced by the windings (W14, W15).Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2004Date of Patent: September 9, 2008Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Hitomi Wasaki, legal representative, Yoshihiro Saitoh, Masaru Wasaki

Patent number: 7405574Abstract: A signal suppression filter (22) that inhibits high-frequency signals contained in power voltage and a signal separation filter (23) that prevents transmission of the high-frequency signals are provided in series on power lines (21A), (21B) connected to a power input terminal (T1), and a common-mode signal detection circuit (25) and a normal-mode signal detection circuit (26) are provided separately from each other. While bi-directionally blocking transmission of a high-frequency signal (noise) between the power supply and the device to be measured by the signal suppression filter (22) and the signal separation filter (23), the common mode signal and the normal mode signal generated in the device to be measured (3) and entering through a power output terminal (T2) are detecting separately. The analysis of the cause of occurrence of a high-frequency signal produced in the device to be measured (3) is facilitated, and proper noise countermeasure may be taken.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2005Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Hitomi Wasaki, legal representative, Yoshihiro Saitoh, Masaru Wasaki

Publication number: 20080116996Abstract: A small and inexpensive signal detector is provided, which can be simply used for noise detection as a development tool for development engineers of systems and devices. A signal suppression filter (22) of inhibiting high-frequency signals contained in power voltage and a signal separation filter (23) of inhibiting transmission of the high-frequency signals are provided in series in power lines (21A), (21B) connected to a power input terminal (T1), and high-frequency signals contained in power voltage between a power output terminal (T2) and the signal separation filter (23) are outputted from signal output terminals (T3) to (T5). High-frequency signals from a power source can be blocked by the signal suppression filter (22) and the signal separation filter (23), so that influence of power noise on a measurement system can be eliminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2005Publication date: May 22, 2008Applicant: TDK CorporationInventors: Masaru Wasaki, Hitomi Wasaki, Yoshihiro Saitoh
