Frequently Asked Questions

How does FAN6756 reduce standby power consumption?

It uses mWSaver™ technology and an innovative AX-CAP™ design to dramatically reduce standby and no-load power consumption.

What is the use of the SENSE resistor in this circuit?

The SENSE resistor handles the ESD discharge path, directing stray capacitance charges from secondary through the transformer auxiliary winding to ground.

How can I ensure proper grounding for optimal performance?

Keep the area enclosed by the signal traces connected to GND2 first. The current then goes through the transformer auxiliary winding and back to the mains via D and C.
