Right.  I was thinking discrete design, but if it is a module with certs you
don't have many options other than keeping the noise from finding an
antenna.

Subject: Re: [PSES] Noisy DC / DC converter

Any modification done to an existing power unit that bears the label of
another company and/or the mark of an accredited lab can result in one or
more of following.

1. a fire hazard
2. a shock hazard
3. an unreliable power converter
4. litigation by the OEM for placing a modified unit on the market that
bears their company name 5. a unit that no longer meets any 'special'
requirements (LPS, LCC, Class 2/3, Class II/III, TNV-x, etc) 6. a unit that
no longer meets EMC immunity and/or emissions.

It cannot be over-stated that power converters that are depended on for the
system's galvanic isolation and/or for providing a  safe output voltage or
power level should never be modified by anyone other than the original mfr.
