Power Integrations CapZero™ ICsCapZero™ ICs from Power Integrations block current flow in the X capacitor safety discharge resistors when AC voltage is applied, reducing the power loss to less than 5 mW, or essentially zero at 230 VAC. Power Integrations CapZero ICs automatically discharge X capacitors through discharge resistors when AC is disconnected, simplify EMI filter design, have only two terminals improving safety standards, have <4 mm creepage on package and PCB, are self-supplied requiring no external bias, have high common mode surge immunity and high differential surge withstand, and are EcoSmart®/energy-efficient.The CAPZero Reference Design Board (RDK-252) demonstration board employs the CAP014DG CAPZero IC and operates over a universal input range. This demo board for the CapZero family is designed and tested to operate with an ambient temperature environment of up to 105ºC. 21st Annual EDN Innovation Award Finalist! Read more...
