PRODUCTION DATA
Connect the high voltage (HV) pin to the two ends of the X-capacitor at the line input, through two diodes as shown in Figure 7-1. HV pin charges the bias supply (VCC) capacitor at start-up. The HV pin also discharges the X-capacitor when the input line voltage is removed. When X-cap discharge is not needed, this connection is still required to minimize standby power consumption. When designing for DC input applications, the HV pin can be directly connected to the input bulk capacitor with corresponding resistor setting on the CDX pin to disable the X-cap discharge feature. The standby power consumption is slightly increased in DC input applications.
