A perennial challenge in power-supply design is the safe and speedy discharge, or “dump,” at turn-off of the large amount of energy stored in the postrectification filter capacitors. This energy, CV 2 ...
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, today announced CAPZero™-3, the latest ...
Power Integrations' CAPZero automatic X-capacitor discharge IC is now certified to meet IEC CTL DSH 1080, the new mandatory addition to the Certification Body (CB) scheme of the IEC60950 and IEC60065 ...
There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...
If you've ever used a modern ignition box to send more spark to your combustion chambers, you're likely familiar with the term capacitor discharge (CD). Pontiac offered a system as an option in the ...
Power Integrations is aiming at larger home appliances needing to meet IEC60335 with an X-capacitor discharger that can empty 6µF in under a second. X-capacitors are part of the EMC input filter of ...
Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...
