IXCY10M45

Current Regulation/Management Overview

The IXCY10M45 is a high voltage current regulator manufactured by IXYS, belonging to the IXC series. It functions as a non-switchable, two-terminal device designed for AC and DC applications. The component regulates current to a specified value of 0.01 amps with a maximum voltage rating of 450V. It is housed in a TO-252 AA package.

Current Regulation/Management Feature Summary

• Provides stable current regulation for both AC and DC circuits
• Features a two-terminal design for simplified integration
• Capable of operating in non-switchable mode

Current Regulation/Management Applications

• High voltage current regulation
• AC circuit monitoring
• DC circuit monitoring

Current Regulation/Management Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type against design requirements, as the IXC series includes various form factors. Confirm that the 0.01 amp regulation current aligns with the target application load. Ensure the 450V rating exceeds the maximum expected line voltage to prevent breakdown. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by the manufacturing process.

Current Regulation/Management Selection Notes

Select this component when a simple, passive current limiting solution is needed for high voltage environments. The two-terminal configuration reduces board space compared to active ICs. Consider the thermal performance within the TO-252 AA package for the intended power dissipation. Verify compatibility with both AC and DC input sources as the device supports bidirectional regulation.

Current Regulation/Management Part Context

This part belongs to the IXYS IXC family of high voltage current regulators. These devices are characterized by their stability and ability to regulate current in both directions using two internal DC regulators connected in series. The family typically offers dynamic resistance values ranging from 9 to 900 kOhm depending on the specific model suffix.

Current Regulation/Management Replacement Considerations

Other models in the IXC series, such as those with different current ratings (e.g., 60mA or 100mA), may serve as functional substitutes if the regulation current can be adjusted or if the load permits. Ensure the replacement maintains the same voltage rating and package footprint.
