CAP008DG-TL

Specialized ICS Overview

The CAP008DG-TL is a specialized PMIC from the CapZero family designed for automatic X capacitor discharge. It features an 825 V breakdown voltage and supports total series resistance of 200 kW. The device operates within a temperature range of -10 °C to 105 °C, with a supply current of 21.7 µA at 25 °C. Packaged in an 8-SOIC (SO-8) format, it eliminates standby power loss by blocking current flow during AC application and automatically discharging capacitors upon disconnection.

Specialized ICS Feature Summary

• Zero-loss operation reduces standby power consumption to less than 5 mW at 230 VAC
• Self-supplied design requires no external bias or ground connection
• High differential surge withstand capability with 1000 V internal MOSFETs
• Supports total series resistance of 200 kW for 825 V applications

Specialized ICS Applications

• Appliances requiring EuP Lot 6 compliance
• Adapters requiring ultra low no-load consumption
• Converters requiring very low standby power

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'TL' corresponds to the Tape & Reel packaging configuration containing 2,500 pieces per reel as defined in the manufacturer's part numbering system. Confirm that the 825 V rating aligns with the system's MOV placement and surge requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select the CAP008DG variant when the application requires an 825 V breakdown voltage and a total series resistance of 200 kW. Ensure the system MOV is placed directly across the X capacitor to utilize the 825 V grade effectively for surge requirements up to 3 kV. Verify that the peak drain voltage remains below the specified limits during surge testing.

Specialized ICS Part Context

This component belongs to the CapZero family of zero-loss automatic X capacitor discharge ICs manufactured by Power Integrations. The family includes variants with 825 V and 1000 V ratings, differentiated by their maximum total X capacitance and series resistance values to meet various safety and EMI filtering standards.

Specialized ICS Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include CAP007DG (2.5 mF, 300 kW) and CAP009DG (5 mF, 150 kW). Selection depends on matching the required total series resistance and breakdown voltage specifications for the specific X capacitor value used in the circuit.
