Abstract: An independent bleeding integrated circuit device is provided to replace the bleeding resistor for an EMI filter capacitor, to establish a discharge path between the two terminals of the EMI filter capacitor when the EMI filter capacitor is disconnected from an AC power source, for discharging the EMI filter capacitor. When the EMI filter capacitor is connected with an AC power source, the discharge path is cut off to avoid power loss.
