MinE-CAP Series Special Function:

The MinE-CAP IC dramatically shrinks the size of input bulk capacitors without compromising output ripple, operating efficiency or requiring redesign of the transformer. MinE-CAP also precisely manages inrush current at AC turn-on, eliminating the need for dissipative NTCs or large slow-blow fuses.

• Up to 50% volume reduction of input bulk capacitors (E-CAPs)
• Eliminates inrush NTC
• Significantly reduces i2t stress on the input bridge rectifier and fuse
• Partners with the InnoSwitch IC family for lowest component count ultra-compact AC/DC converters
• Integrated temperature sensing and hysteretic thermal shutdown
• Input surge protection
• Pin open/short-circuit and E-CAP UV/OV fault reporting
• Used in applications requiring extended wide-range input (90 VAC to 350+VAC)
• Applications: Appliances & Unstable mains voltage, USB PD & Notebook Adapters
