Low common mode noise transformer structure with external float wire mount

Last updated:

Abstract:

A transformer structure is disclosed to reduce common mode noise on an output load. The transformer structure includes a bobbin mounted on a magnetic core, a plurality of windings wound around the bobbin. The plurality of windings include a primary winding coupled to receive an input voltage, a secondary winding coupled to an output load; and a floating auxiliary winding located between the primary and secondary winding. The floating auxiliary winding includes a first terminal and a second terminal coupled to a pair of external float wires extended towards an isolation mounting sheet placed adjacent to an exterior top surface of the transformer structure. The pair of external float wires forms parallel adjacent and open-ended conductive traces with a predefined pattern on the isolation mounting sheet placed above the exterior surface of the transformer structure.
