Description

The MinE-CAP™ IC dramatically shrinks the size of input bulk capacitors

without compromising output ripple, operating efficiency or requiring

redesign of the transformer. When compared to traditional techniques

such as very high switching frequency operation, MinE-CAP achieves

the same or greater overall power supply size reduction whilst avoiding

the challenges of complex EMI filtering and the increased transformer/

clamp dissipation associated with very high frequency designs.
