Several different technologies and designs are available among solid-state switches today. The major families are the standard Triacs (triode for alternating current), the snubberless Triacs, and the ...
Fig 1. This efficient pre-regulator for a dc power supply uses an optical feedback loop to minimize dissipation rather than the traditional optically isolated TRIAC drivers. Fig 2. The PSpice ...
The lighting industry has relied on the incandescentbulb for more than a century, and,over the last 50 years, the phase dimmer hasbecome the main dimming control. Standardforward-phase, or TRIAC ...
The LM3445 from National Semiconductor enables a full 100:1 range of offline, uniform, flicker-free dimming for high-brightness LEDs with a conventional TRIAC forward or reverse phase-control wall ...
