• Developed a common-mode equivalent model (CEM) using a first principles approach to explore the electromagnetic interference (EMI) profiles for non-isolated buck and boost converters. This work focused on leveraging the asymmetry of the filter inductors to identify unconventional solutions to minimizing conducted emissions without the need for additional filtering conventionally realized with input EMI filters.• Developed a CEM to explore the EMI profile of a galvanically isolated dc-dc… Show more • Developed a common-mode equivalent model (CEM) using a first principles approach to explore the electromagnetic interference (EMI) profiles for non-isolated buck and boost converters. This work focused on leveraging the asymmetry of the filter inductors to identify unconventional solutions to minimizing conducted emissions without the need for additional filtering conventionally realized with input EMI filters.• Developed a CEM to explore the EMI profile of a galvanically isolated dc-dc converter that was realized with multi-chip power modules (MCPMs) as the switching devices. • Developed a CEM to explore the EMI profile of medium-voltage (MV) gate-drivers to better understand the behavior that disturbs control signals due to the high dv/dt required of MV switching devices.
