Power Integrations, Inc. Specialized ICs - CAP002DG-TL CAP002DG-TL

CAP002DG-TL is a specialized integrated circuit designed for automatic discharge of X capacitors in AC applications. It operates by blocking current through discharge resistors when AC voltage is present and automatically discharges the X capacitors when the AC supply is disconnected, ensuring compliance with safety standards. The device features a low power consumption of less than 5 mW at 230 VAC, making it suitable for applications requiring minimal standby power. It is self-supplied, requiring no external bias, and offers high common mode surge immunity without needing an external ground connection. The CAP002DG-TL is rated for a breakdown voltage of 825 V and can handle X capacitance values up to 500 nF with a total series resistance of 1.5 MW. This IC is ideal for ACDC converters, appliances needing EuP Lot 6 compliance, and adapters that demand ultra-low no-load consumption. Its two-terminal design simplifies EMI filter design and enhances system reliability.
