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 ...
Hybrid relays combine a mechanical switch with a solid-state switch, and they are set up in parallel to control a single load ...
One of the biggest challenges for new, energy-efficient CFL and LED-based lights that will replace incandescents is working with existing triac-based dimmer switches. Triac dimmers vary widely in both ...
Fairchild Semiconductor introduced the FL7730 single-stage primary side regulation (PSR) controller with power factor correction (PFC) for use with triac and analog dimming compatibility. Fairchild ...
This system introduces an AC touch-controlled solid-state relay (SSR) capable of handling input voltages from 100V to 250V AC ...
Power-control modules are circuits comprising devices such as silicon-controlled rectifiers, triacs, power transistors, and power rectifier diodes. Power-control modules are circuits comprising ...
The ubiquitous triac dimmer can still work with LED lamps, thanks to new ICs. Energy-efficient lighting is in the headlines as we approach the date at which federally mandated efficiency levels for ...
