Frequently asked questions

What is the main feature of the FAN6756 controller?

It incorporates innovative mWSaver™ technology which dramatically reduces standby and no-load power consumption.

How does the FAN6756 reduce EMI filter losses?

It uses AX-CAP™ technology to remove the X-capacitor bleeder resistor and its associated loss through intelligent detection and discharge methods.

What is the recommended current density for transformer windings?

The current density is typically 6-10A/mm2 when the wire is long, or 8-14A/mm2 when the wire is short with a small number of turns.
