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 ...

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 ...

You can use a simple boost converter, a filter circuit to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), and a little trickery to build a compact, ultra-low-noise, phantom power supply (48 V) that ...
