Our integrated circuits and reference designs help you create and optimize a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) 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.
