Fairchild Semiconductor provides designers with an easier way to design their motor control, power switch and lighting control applications with random-phase, snubberless triac drive optocouplers. The ...

As Italian tire giant Pirelli's advertising reminds us, “Power is nothing without control.” But if your application is automotive, consumer, or industrial, embedded control is often worthless without ...

Power-control modules are circuits comprising devices such as silicon-controlled rectifiers, triacs, power transistors, and power rectifier diodes. These circuits can function as pulse-width ...

Triacs are at the heart of dimming controls for LED lighting. Triacs used in dimmers have normally been characterised and specified for incandescent lamp loads, which have high current ratings for ...
