Hello!
My first SMPS (switching mode power supply) design's conducted signal noise, major one is the 260KHz, which is the SMPS switching frequency, is over the CISPB standard by 2.48dB.
How do I suppres the 260KHz signal down which is conducted back to the power supply line?
The chip I used is the National LM2672-12, for a 12V DC output. The current consumption of the whole circuit is about 120mA-130mA. Power supply in is 24VAC.
There is a 220uF SMD electrolytic capacitor and a 100nF SMD ceramic capacitor served as the input cap. The 220uF cap also serves as the filtering capacitor after a half bridge rectifier/diode.
The output cap I used is the same 220uF SMD electrolytic capacitor. Its impedance is 180mOhm @20degC 100KHz. Datasheet link for this cap is
There is a gound plane on the top of the PCB, but not very big, and its shape has changed to a very uncommon one to allow other wider pads. The ground plane shape is like a "O", but with a small open at the left bottom corner.
