Next gen power switch meets 2013 ErP reg

The FSB series of ac regulators helps meet the power saving requirements of the 2013 EU eco-design directive ErP (Energy-related Products) Lot 6 with a maximum power consumption in standby mode of

It integrates current-mode PWM and an avalanche-rugged 700V SenseFET in a single package. It minimizes losses in the EMI filter stage by eliminating the X-cap discharge resistors while meeting IEC61010-1 safety requirements. Integrated protection features include programmable cycle-by-cycle current limiting, internal open-loop protection, built-in brown-in and brown-out protection, high- and low-line compensation, over-temperature protection, under-voltage lockout and over-voltage protection.
