EMC Specification
The conducted EMI measurement was performed using a module
placed directly on the test benchꢀ
The fundamental switching frequency is 195 kHz for
PKB 4711 PINB @ VI = 53V, IO = (0ꢀ1ꢀꢀꢀ1ꢀ0) x IOmaxꢀ

Layout Recommendation
The radiated EMI performance of the DC/DC converter will be opti-
mised by including a ground plane in the PCB area under the DC/DC
converterꢀ This approach will return switching noise to ground as
directly as possible, with improvements to both emissions and sus-
ceptibilityꢀ It is also important to consider the stand-off of the PKB
4000 series DC/DC converterꢀ If one ground trace is used, it should
be connected to the input returnꢀ Alternatively, two ground traces
may be used, with the trace under the input side of the DC/DC con-
verter connected to the input return and the trace under the output
side of the DC/DC converter connected to the output returnꢀ Make
sure to use appropriate safety isolation spacing between these two
return tracesꢀ The use of two traces as described will provide the
capability of routing the input noise and output noise back to their
respective returnsꢀ
