App note from IXYS about their unique digital inrush controller using Zilog’s 8-bit Z8F3281 MCU. Digital control allows distinctive solutions to control inrush current in typical AC-DC rectifier with capacitive load by limiting capacitor pre-charge current to a predetermined value at each half sine-wave cycle. Capacitor charge is spread over a number of cycles until […]

aimtec.com has a basic article on how to limit inrush current using passive components. Inrush current or input surge current refers to the maximum, instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device during its initial turn on. Power converters also feature high inrush currents relative to their steady state currents that may be several times […]
