<![CDATA[The rapid electrification of vehicles intensifies electromagnetic interference (EMI) challenges in DC–DC converters, particularly isolated topologies used for high-voltage to low-voltage energy transfer. High-frequency switching generates common-mode (CM) and differential-mode (DM) conducted noise that threatens compliance with stringent CISPR 25 Class 5 standards. This paper proposes the design, modeling, and evaluation of a compact electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filter capable of simultaneously suppressing CM and DM emissions in an isolated DC–DC converter for electric vehicle applications. The proposed passive filter combines a CM choke with Y-capacitors, a DM π-filter using X-capacitors and series inductors, and an RC damping branch to avoid resonances. The converter and filter were modeled in LTspice, and conducted emission spectra were evaluated using a Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN) with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis. Simulation results demonstrate that conducted emissions are reduced by about 40 dBµV, ensuring full compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5 limits. The proposed solution offers a cost-effective and practical approach to improve EMC margins and reliability in automotive DC–DC converters. The results presented in this study are based on circuit-level simulations, and experimental validation will be addressed in future work.]]>
