Abstract
We describe a switch mode power supply having a power input, a switch, a transformer, and a power output. The transformer has a primary winding coupled to said power input via said switch, and a secondary winding coupled to said power output. The transformer further comprises an auxiliary winding and a coupling structure capacitatively coupled to said secondary winding of said transformer; wherein said coupling structure does not comprise a shield or screen between said primary and secondary windings. The switch mode power supply further comprises a coupling capacitor connected between said coupling structure and said auxiliary winding to provide a noise suppression voltage from said auxiliary winding to said secondary winding to at least partially cancel a common mode noise voltage on said secondary winding from unshielded coupling from said primary winding.
