In September 2014, Power Integrations Inc announced that its CAPZeroTM two terminal, automatic X capacitor discharge ICs have been certified to meet IEC 62368, the new over arching safety standard covering TVs and IT equipment. The CAPZero family eliminates power losses while allowing power supplies to comply with safety standards. The new standard replaces IEC 60950 and IEC 60065 and will become mandatory. CAPZero ICs are smart, high voltage switches that are placed in series with the resistors used to provide a safe discharge path for a power supply’s X capacitor. CAPZero ICs can be used before or after the system input fuse, as the innovative X capacitor discharge ICs inherently meet international safety standards for all open and short circuit fault tests. Devices are suitable for all AC-DC converters with X capacitors, and are available with 825V or 1000V MOSFETs to support a variety of power supply design needs. Applications include PCs, servers/workstations, monitors and TVs, printers and notebooks, appliances that require ErP Lot 6 compliance, and adapters requiring ultra low no load consumption.
