9 / 23 page AN2872 Description Doc ID 15305 Rev 1 9/23 capacitors are the same, no problem is presented. But in cases where there is a difference in leakage currents (which is the case in practical applications) this difference will cause the capacitor with lower leakage to be charged by this difference and the voltage over this capacitor will rise, risking exceeding the voltage defined in the datasheet. To avoid this effect, so-called balancing resistors are applied parallel to the electrolytic capacitors. The correct value of the balancing resistors can be calculated from the difference in the leakage currents and applied voltage. Unfortunately, the maximum difference in leakage currents is not defined. It is possible, however, that the calculations for the balancing resistors are available the technical documentation of some aluminum capacitor manufactures. An examination of these documents reveals that there is not a single method and each manufacturer uses different calculation methods, each of which unfortunately can give very different values. Technical notes describing the calculations of balancing resistors can be found in Section 6: References: 4, 5, 6, 7. Typically, the value of balancing resistors is in the range of hundreds of k Ω to several MΩ. The drawback of using balancing resistors is the constant input load. The additional constant load caused by balancing resistors is mainly visible in the standby consumption and reduction of efficiency at low power SMPS. It is recommended to set the value of the balancing resistors to the maximum level, respecting the technical recommendations of the manufacturer of the aluminum capacitors selected. 3.2 Converter schematic The schematic of the converter is shown in Figure 4. It consists of three sections: an input, a high voltage DC-DC converter and a linear regulator. The input sections integrates a rectifier (D3, D4) of the input RMS voltage, an EMI filter (C1, C2, L1, C3, C4), protection (R1) and bulk capacitors (C3, C4) which store energy for the DC- DC converter when the input voltage is low. Because there is 500 VAC applied, which means a DC level over 700 V, the foil and electrolytic capacitors are connected in series. This is due to the fact that the standard foil safety capacitors are produced for 440 VAC, and the maximum DC voltage for standard electrolytic capacitors is 450 V. As the electrolytic capacitors have different leakage current, the balancing resistors (R2, R5, R6, R8) must be applied to guarantee that the voltage of each capacitor does not exceed the maximum rating even at maximum input voltage.

It converts the input high DC voltage stored in capacitors C3 and C4 to output.
