Product Highlights
  • Improves no-load performance, standby consumption, and light-load efficiency
  • Allows use of larger X capacitor without standby PLOSS penalty
  • Simplifies EMI filter design
  • Only two terminals – meets safety standards for use before or after system input fuse
  • Self supplied – no external bias required
  • High common mode surge immunity – no external ground connection
  • High differential surge tolerance with 1000 V internal MOSFETs
EcoSmart® - Energy Efficient
  • <5 mW consumption at 230 VAC for all X capacitor values
Applications
  • All AC-DC converters with X capacitors >100 nF
  • Appliances requiring EuP Lot 6 compliance
  • Power supplies requiring ultra low no-load consumption
  • All converters requiring very low standby power
