Abstract
A system for reducing common-mode noise includes a switch mode power supply having primary and secondary sides, primary and secondary side grounds, an input voltage source, a primary switch, a transformer, a core, and a power output. The primary and secondary sides each have a quiet termination. The transformer includes a primary winding, a secondary winding, and an active shield winding between the primary and secondary windings. The active shield winding has two terminations, is wound in a same direction as the secondary winding, and occupies a same axial position on the core as the secondary winding. One of the terminations of the active shield winding is connected to the quiet termination of the primary side, so that the terminations of the secondary winding and the active shield winding that are adjacent each other carry alternating voltages of a same polarity and a same amplitude.
