Our integrated circuits and reference designs help you create and optimize an arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) design to support small form factor while accurately detecting faults and quickly disconnecting the load.
Design requirements
Modern residential breakers often require:
- Sensitivity for detecting high-frequency arcs or low-level leakage currents.
- Minimizing components to convert alternating current (AC) line current or voltage to regulated direct current (DC).
- Integrating wired and wireless communications for better data analysis.
