Description
When AC voltage is applied, CAPZero™ blocks current flow in the X
capacitor safety discharge resistors, reducing the power loss to less
than 5 mW, or essentially zero
1
at 230 VAC. When AC voltage is
disconnected, CAPZero automatically discharges the X capacitor by
connecting the series discharge resistors. This operation allows total
flexibility in the choice of the X capacitor to optimize differential mode
EMI filtering and reduce inductor costs, with no change in power
consumption.
Designing with CAPZero is simply a matter of selecting the appropriate
CAPZero device and external resistor values in Table 1 for the
X capacitor value being used. This design choice will provide a worst
case RC time constant, when the AC supply is disconnected, of less
than 1 second as required by international safety standards.
The simplicity and ruggedness of the two terminal CAPZero IC makes it
an ideal choice in systems designed to meet EuP Lot 6 requirements.
The CAPZero family has two voltage grades: 825 V and 1000 V. The
voltage rating required depends on surge requirement and circuit
configuration of the application. See Key Applications Considerations
section for details.
Table 1. Component Selection Table.
Notes:
1. IEC 62301 clause 4.5 rounds standby power use below 5 mW to zero.
2. Values are nominal. RC time constant is <1 second with ±20% X capacitor
and ±5% resistance from these nominal values.

CAPZero
Pin Functional Description
The pin configuration of Figure 2 ensures that the width of the SO-8
package is used to provide creepage and clearance distance of over
4 mm.
Although electrical connections are only made to pins 2, 3, 6 and 7, it
is recommended that pins 1-4 and pins 5-8 are coupled together on
the PCB – see Applications Section.
For MOV placement that is not directly across the X Capacitor1 (for
example MOV
POS2
in Figure 3) the 1000 V CAPZero devices can be
used up to a surge specification of 1.5 kV. For differential surge
voltage specifications of >1.5 kV it is recommended that the MOV is
always placed in the location shown in Figure 3 as MOV
POS1
.
It is always recommended that the peak voltage between terminals
D1 and D2 of CAPZero is measured during surge tests in the final
system. Measurements of peak voltage across CAPZero during surge
tests should be made with oscilloscope probes having appropriate
voltage rating and using an isolated supply to the oscilloscope to
avoid ground currents influencing measurement results. When
making such measurements, it is recommended that 50 V engineer-
ing margin is allowed below the breakdown voltage specification (for
example 950 V with the 1000 V CAPZero).
If the measured peak Drain voltage exceeds 950 V, an external 1 kV
ceramic capacitor of value up to 47 pF can also be placed between D1
and D2 terminals to attenuate the voltage applied between the
CAPZero terminals during surge. This optional external capacitor
placement is shown as C
EXT
in Figure 3. It should be noted that use
of an external capacitor in this way will increase power consumption
slightly due to the C
EXT
charge/discharge currents flowing in R1 and
R2 while AC is connected. A C
EXT
value of 33 pF will add approximately
0.5 mW at 230 VAC, 50 Hz.
PCB Layout and External Resistor Selection
Figure 4 shows a typical PCB layout configuration for CAPZero. The
external resistors in this case are divided into two separate surface
mount resistors to distribute loss under fault conditions – for example
where a short-circuit exists between CAPZero terminals D1 and D2.
R1 and R2 values are selected according to Table 1.
Under a fault condition where CAPZero terminals D1 and D2 are
shorted together, each resistor will dissipate a power that can be
calculated from the applied AC voltage and the R1 and R2 values. For
example in an application using CAP004 or CAP014, R1=R2=390 kW.
If CAPZero is shorted out at 265 VAC R1 and R2 will each dissipate
45 mW.
Resistors R1 and R2 should also be rated for 50% of the system input
voltage again to allow for the short-circuitry of CAPZero D1 to D2 pins
during single point fault testing.

Key Application Considerations
Breakdown Voltage Selection
Figure 3 illustrates possible system configurations influencing the
choice of CAPZero breakdown voltage. The system configuration
variables include the placement of the system MOV and X capacitor(s)
as well as the differential surge voltage specifications of the
application.
As shown in Table 1, each device in the CAPZero family has a 825 V
or 1000 V option. For applications where the system MOV is placed
in position 1 (MOV
POS1
in Figure 3), the 825 V option will typically
provide adequate voltage withstand for surge requirements up to 3 kV
or more. The 1 kV CAPZero would be recommended for higher surge
requirements or if additional voltage margin is required.

CAPZero
If lower dissipation or lower voltage across each resistor is required
during fault tests, the total external resistance can be divided into
more discrete resistors, however the total resistance must be equal to
that specified in Table 1.
Safety
CAPZero meets safety requirements even if placed before the system
input fuse. If a short-circuit is placed between D1 and D2 terminals
of CAPZero, the system is identical to existing systems where
CAPZero is not used.
With regard to open circuit tests, it is not possible to create a fault
condition through a single pin fault (for example lifted pin test) since
there are two pins connected to each of D1 and D2. If several pins
are lifted to create an open circuit, the condition is identical to an
open circuit X capacitor discharge resistor in existing systems where
CAPZero is not used. If redundancy against open circuit faults is
required, two CAPZero and R1 / R2 configurations can be placed in
parallel.
Discharge Operation
To meet the safety regulations, when the AC supply is disconnected,
CAPZero will discharge the X capacitor to the safety extra low voltage
(SELV) levels according to the above functional description. Although
there are no specific safety requirements below SELV, CAPZero still
continues the discharge until the X capacitor is fully discharged. As
such CAPZero can be safely used at low input voltages such as the
common industrial 18 VAC and 24 VAC supply rails while retaining X
capacitor discharge when the AC source is disconnected.
