Thyristors, Rectifiers,and Diacs

This DATABOOK
contains complete data and related application notes on thyristors,
rectifiers, and diacs presently
available from RCA Solid State Division as standard products.
The new RCA type-numbering
system for these devices is
explained, and product matrix charts are given on pages 14-24
for ease of type selection. Data sheets are then grouped in the
following categories: (a) triacs, (b) silicon controlled rectifiers,
(c) rectifiers, (d) diacs. Application
notes are included in
numerical order following the data sheets.
A feature of this DATABOOK is the complete Guide to RCA

Solid State Devices at the back of the book. This section
includes a developmental-to-commercial-number
cross-reference
index, a comprehensive subject index, and a complete index to
all standard devices in the solid-state product line: linear integrated circuits, MOS field-effect (MOS/F ET) devices, COS/MOS
integrated circuits, power transistors, power hybrid circuits, rf
power devices, thyristors, rectifiers, and diacs. All listings include
references to volume number and page number in the 1974 7volume DAT ABOO K series described on the facing page.

Total Data Service System
The RCA Solid State DATABOOKS
are supplemented
throughout the year by a comprehensive data service system
that keeps you aware of all new device announcements and
lets you obtain as much or as little product information as
you need - when you need it.
New solid-state devices and related publications announced
during the year are described in a monthly newsletter entitled "What's New in Solid State".
If you obtained your
DAT ABOOK(s) directly from RCA, your name is already on
the mailing list for this newsletter.
If you obtained your
book(s) from a source other than RCA and wish to receive
the newsletter, please fill out the form on page 4, detach it,
and mail it to RCA.
Each newsletter issue contains a "bingo"-type
fast-response
form for your use in requesting information on new devices
of interest to you. If you wish to receive all new product information published throughout the year, without having to
use the newsletter response form, you may subscribe to a
mailing service which will bring you all new data sheets and
application notes in a package every other month. You can
also obtain a binder for easy filing of all your supplementary
material. Provisions for obtaining information on the update
mailing service and the binder are included in the order
form on page 4.
Because we are interested in your reaction to this approach
to data service, we invite you to add your comments to the
form when you return it, or to send your remarks to one of
the addresses listed at the top of the form. We solicit your
constructive criticism to help us improve our service to you.

A new system of type numbers has been adopted for all RCA triacs, SCR's, rectifiers,
100-,40000-,41000-,43000-,44000-,
and diacs previously
identified
by
and 45000-series numbers. Type numbers for JEDEC (IN- and 2N-series) devices,
which are registered with the Joint Electron Devices Engineering Council of the Electronic
Industries Association
(EIA), are
not affected.
The new type
immediately
numbers for
non-JEDEC
RCA thyristors,
rectifiers,
and diacs consist of an alpha-numeric
identifies the basic type of device and provides information
type is indicated by the initial

numbers following
the initial
letter of the type-number
on significant
code that
device features. The basic product
designation; i.e., T = triac, S = SCR, and 0 = rectifier
or diac. The
letter indicate device current ratings, type of package, and electrical variants within
a series.
The suffix letter(s) define the voltage rating of the device.

Sixteen suffix letters are used to represent specific voltage ratings in the range from 15 to 1000 volts. Combinations
of these
letters can be used to indicate voltage ratings that differ from the sixteen basic values. (For example, the suffix OF is used
for a voltage rating of 450 volts; i.e., 0 + F = 400 + 50 = 450 volts.)
The charts and matrix shown below provide a detailed explanation of the new type number codes. For convenience of type
selection, the "old"
"old"
numbers are included
in the index to devices on pages 8-10, and a cross-reference guide that relates
type numbers to the new numbers that replace them is provided on pages 11-12.

PackageDesign Facilitates Mounting on a Printed-Circuit Board

Types T2500B and T2500D* are gatecontrolled full-wave
silicon triacs utilizing a plastic case with three leads to
facilitate
mounting on printedcircuit
boards. They are
intended for the control of ac loads in such applications as
motor controls, heating controls, relay replacement, solenoid
drivers, static switching, and powerswitching systems.
These devices are designed to switch from an off-state to an
on-state for either polarity of applied voltage with positive or
MAXIMUM
RATINGS, AbsoJuteMaximum
negative gate triggering voltages. They have an onstate cur

rent rating of 6 amperes at a Te of sooe and repetitive offstate voltage ratings of 200 volts and 400 volts, respectively.
The unique plastic package design provides not only ease of
mounting but also low terminal impedance, which allows
operation at high case temperatures and permits reduced
heatsink size.

The SCA's and rectifiers can be operated at full current only

if they have adequate heat sinking. The procedure illustrated
in Fig. 4 should be used when mounting the SCA's. A single
aluminum
plate
made as shown
in Fig. 5 will
provide
adequate heat sinking for trace and commutating rectifiers.

Lip punching of the chassis at one end of the clamp plate,
makes it possible to mount the rectifier using only one screw.

Mounting of press- fit package types depends

upon an interference fit between the thyristor case and
the heat sink. As the thyri stor is forced into the heatsink hole, metal from the heat sink flows into the knurl
voids of the thyristor case. The resulting close contact
between the heat sink and the thyri stor case assures low
thermal and electrical resistances.
shows press-fit knurl and heat-sink hole dimensions.
If these dimensions are maintained, a "worst-case"
condition of 0.0085 in. (Q.21.~9 mm) interference fit will
allow press-fit insertion below the maximum allowable
insertion force of 800 pounds. A slight chamfer in the
heat-sink hole will help center and guide the press-fit
package properly into the heat sink. The insertion tool
should be a hollow shaft having an inner diameter of
0.380 0.010 in. (9.65 0.254 mm) and an outer diameter of 0.500 in. 02.70 mm). These dimensions
provide
sufficient clearance for the leads and assure that no
direct force is applied to the glass seal of the thyristor.
The press-fit package is not restricted to a single

mounting arrangement; direct soldering and the use of
epoxy adhesives have been successfully employed. The
press-fit case is tin-plated to facilitate direct soldering
to the heat sink. A f)0-40 solder should be used and
heat should be applied only long enough to allow the
sold,'r to now freely.

COOLING CONSIDERATIONS
The overall thermal resistance, case to air, needed to
operate .these devices at a given current and a specific
ambient air temperature is shown in Fig. 8. For example:
dissipation of 20 watts and an ambient air temperature of
43 c (110 OF), the required thermal resistance, case to
air, is 2 C/W. This required case-ta-air thermal resistance included both case-ta-heat sink and heat sink-toair thermal resistances.
Typical values of case-ta-heat sink thermal resistances
for different mounting arrangements are shown in Table l.
Thermal resistance characteristics of commercial heat
sinks are contained in various manufacturers' data sheets.

The maximum

in the tabulated

are
established
in accordance
with the following
definition
of the Absolute-Maximum

for

The device manufacturer

chooses these values
to provide acceptable serviceability
of the device,
taking no responsibility
for equipment
variations,
environment
variations, and the effects of changes
in operating
conditions
due to'vdriations
in
device characteristics.
The equipment
manufacturer
should design so
that initially
and throughout
life no absolutemaximum value for the intended service is exceeded
with any device under the worst probable operating
conditions
with respect to supply-voltage
variation, equipment
component
variation,
equipment
control adjustment,
load variation,
signal variation, environmental
conditions,
and variations
in device characteristics.
The flexible
leads of these rectifiers
are
usually soldered to the circuit elements.
It is
desirable
in all soldering
operations
to provide
Some slack or an expansion
elbow in the leads to
prevent excessive
tension
on the leads.
It is
important
during the soldering
operation
to avoid
excessive heat in order to prevent possible
damage
to the rectifiers.
To absorb some of the heat,
grip the flexible
lead of the rectifier
between
the case and the soldering
point
with a paIr
of pliers.
When dip soldering
is employed in the assembly
of printed circuitry
using these rectifiers,
the
temperature
of the solder
should
not exceed
2~5 C for a maximum immersion
period of 10 seconds.
Furthermore,
the leads should not be dip
soldered beyond points A and B indicated
on the
Dimensional
Outline Drawing.
Because
the metal
cases
of these
rectifiers may operate
at voltages
which are dangerous, care
should
be taken
in the design
of
equipmen~
to prevent
the operator
from coming
in contact
with the rectifier.
It is recommended that these rectifiers
be mounted
on the
underside
of the chassis.

1N1763A
1N1764A
Solid State
Division
RCA-1N1763A
and lN1764A are hermetically
sealed silicon rectifiers of the diffused-junction type, designed for use in power supplies of
color and black-and-white
television receivers,
radio recei vers, phonographs,
high-fidelity
amplifier systems, and other electronic equipment
for commercial and industrial applications.
RCA-1N1763A
and lN1764A supersede and are
unilaterally interchangeable with RCA-1N1763 and
lN1764, respectively.
The new rectifiers Incorporate all of the superior performance
and
reliability features which have gained industry
acceptance
for thei r RCA prototypes,
and, in
addition, offer substantially higher dc-outputcurrent capabilities,
lower reverse (leakage)
currents, lower forward voltage drop, and a wider
operating-temperature
range.
Both devices have dc forward-current ratings
of 1 ampere - resistive or inductive load, and
0.75 ampere - capacitive 'load at free-air temperatures up to 750C (natural convection cooling).
They can provide dc output currents of up to 2
amperes to capaci tive loads when attached to simple
heat sinks.
RCA-1N1763A has a peak-reverse-voltage rating
of 400 volts, and is intended for applications in
which the rectifier operates directly from an ac
power line supplying
up to 140 volts rms for
capacitive
loads, or up to 280 volts rms for
resistive or inductive loads.
RCA-1N1764A has a peak-reverse-voltage rating
of 500 volts, and is intended for applications in
which the rectifier
operates
from an ac line
through a step-up transformer supplying up to 175
volts rms for capacitive loads, orup to 350 volts
rms for resistive or inductive loads.
RCA-1N1763A
and lN1764A have an operatingtemperature range of -65C to +1350C. They utilize
the JEDEC 00-1 flanged-case, axial-lead package
which provides flexibility
of installation
in
both hand-wired
and printed-circuit
equipment
designs.
These new rectifiers, like their RCA
prototypes, are conservatively
rated and incorporate the following design features: (1) welded,
hermetically sealed case for protection against
moisture and contamination, (2) superior junction
characteristics made possible by a precisely controlled diffusion
process;
(3) extensive
and
rigorous quality-control procedures.

lN2861A,
lN2862A, lN2863A, and lN2864A are hermetically

and commercial
electronic
equipment.
DIFFUSED-JUNCTION
SILICON RECTIFIERS
RCA-1N2858A through lN2864A supersede and are

unilaterally
interchangeable
with RCA-1N2858
through lN2864, respectively.
The new rectifiers
incorporate all of the superior performance and
reliability features which have gained industry
acceptance for their RCA prototypes, and, in addition, offer substantially higher dc output-current capabilities,
lower reverse
(leakage)
currents, and a wider operating-temperature
range.
Flanged-Case
Axial-Lead Types For
General-Purpose Applications
In Industrial And Commercial
All seven of these new rectifier types have

maximum dc-forward-current
ratings of 1 ampere
for resistive or inductive 10ads and 0.75 ampere
for capacitive loads at free-air temperatures up
to 750C (natural convection cooling).
They are
also capable of providing dc output currents of
up to 2 amperes with capacitive loads when attached to simple heat sinks.
RCA-1N2858A
through lN2864A differ only in
peak-reverse-voltage
ratings (see Maximum Ratings
chart). They are rated for operation at free-air
temperatures
from _650 to +135C, and utilize
the JEDEC 00-1 flange-type, axial-lead rectifier
package which provides flexibi lity of installation
in both hand-wired and printed-circuit equipment
designs.
These new rectifiers, like their RCA prototypes, are conservatively
rated, and incorporate
the following design features and special tests
which contribute to their outstanding performance
and reliability:
(1) junctions of extremely high
uniformity produced by a special, precisely controlled diffusion process, (2) rugged internal
mount structure, (3) hermetically sealed cases,
(4) prolonged treatment at high temperatures to
stabilize characteristics,
(5) pressure tests of
seals for protection
against moisture and contamination,
(6) tests for forward and reverse
characteristics at 250C, and (7) high-temperature
dynamic tests under full-load conditions.

Because these rectifiers may operate at voltages which are dangerous, care should be taken in
the design of equipment to prevent the operator
from coming in contact with the rectifier.
The recommended installation torque is 15 to
20 inch-pounds applied to a 10/32 UNF'-2B hex nut
assembled on stud thread.
The applied torque during installation
not exceed 25 inch-pounds.

Problem:
Determine mlnlmum heat-sink Slze.
Procedure:
Step 1: From Fig. 5, the current mul tipl ying
factor for a conduction
angle of 1200 is
1.18.
Step 2: For three-phase half-wave operation
the number of rectifier circuit branches is
three. The average forward current through
each rectifier cell is, therefore,
30/3,
or 10 amperes.
Step 3: Multiplying average forward amperes
(10) obtained
in Step 2 by the currentmultiplying factor (1.18) obtained in Step 1
yields 11.8 adjusted forward amperes.
Step 4:
From Fig.3, for forced-air cooling.
the minimum heat-sink size for the conditions
shown is 2-1/2" x 2-1/2".

Because these recti fiers may operate at vol tages which are dangerous, care should be taken in
the design of equipment to prevent the operator
from coming in contact wi th the recti fier.
The recommended installation torque is 26 to
36 inch-pounds applied to a 1/4-28 lNF-2A hex nut
assembled on thread.
The appl ied torque during installation should
not exceed 75 inch-pounds.
Use of Rating Charts
O1art V is used in conj unction wi th Rating
O1arts II and III to determine maximum average
forward amp~res per recti fier uni t for polyphase
operation and dc operation.
The procedure for
the use of O1art V is as follows:
Step I: From Chart V determine
the currentmultiplying factor for the applicable conduction
angle.
(For dc operation use current multiplying factor of 0.8.)
Step 2: [nvide the required load current in
amperes by the number of rectifier
circuit
branches -- as shown in the following Table -to determine average forward amperes per rectifier element.

justed average forward amperes per rectifier

element, for use with Rating O1art II or Rating
O1art III.
Step ~: Using the product obtained in Step 3,
determine from Rating Chart II or Rating O1art
III either (a) the maximum allowable incomingair temperature or ambient temperature
for a
given heat-sink size, or (b) the minimum heatsink size for a given incoming-air temperature
or ambient temperature.
Cond itions:
(a) Three-phase,
half-wave operation; conduction angle = 1200
(b) Desired output cur~ent = 45 amperes
(c) Forced-air cooling; incoming-air temperature = 900 C
Problem:
Determine
minimum heat-sink
Size.
Procedure:
Step 1: From O1art V, the current multiplying
factor for a conduction angle of 1200 is 1.18.
Step 2: For three-phase half-wave operation
the number of rectifier circuit branches is
three. The average forward current through
each rectifier element is, therefore, 45/3,
or 15 amperes.
Step 3: Multiplying average forward amperes
05) obtained in Step 2 by the current multipI ying factor (1.18) obtained in Step 1 yields
17.7 adjusted average forward amperes.
Step 4: From Rating Chart III, for forcedair cooling, the minimum heat-sink size for
the conditions shown in Step 3 is 3" x 3".

These ReA types are designed for use in a horizontal output

circuit such as that shown in Fig. 1.
The silicon rectifier D2101S (40892)* may be used as a

clamp to protect the circuit components from excessively
high transient voltages which may be generated as a result of
arcing in the picture tube or in a high-voltage rectifier tube.
The silicon controlled rectifier S3703SF (40888) * and the

silicon rectifier D2103SF (40890)* are designed to act as a
bipolar switch that controls horizontal yoke current during
the beam trace interval. To initiate trace-retrace switching
and control yoke current during retrace. the silicon controlled
rectifier S3702SF (40889) * and the silicon rectifier D21 03S
(40891) * act as the commutating switch.
To facilitate direct connection across each silicon controlled

rectifier, S3702SF and S3703SF, the anode connections of
silicon rectifiers D2103S and D2103SF are reversed as
compared to that of a normal power-supply rectifier diode.

The SCR's and rectifiers can be operated at full current only

if they have adequate heat sinking. The procedure illustrated
in Fig. 4 should be used when mounting the SCA's. A single
aluminum plate made as shown in Fig. 5 will provide
adequate heat sinking for trace and commutating
rectifiers.
Lip punching of the chassis at one end of the clamp plate,

makes it possible to mount the rectifier using only one screw.

Operating Considerations for

RCA Solid State Devices
Solid state devices are being designed into an increasing

variety of electronic equipment because of their high
standards of reliability and performance. However, it is
essential that equipment designers be mindful of good
engineering practices in the use of these devices to achieve
the desired performance.
This Note summarizes important operating recommendations and precautions which should be followed in the
interest of maintaining the high standards of performance of
solid state devices.
The ratings included in RCA Solid State Devices data
bulletins are based on the Absolute Maximum Rating
System, which is defined by the following Industry Standard
(JEDEC) statement:
Absolute-Maximum Ratings are limiting values of operating and environmental conditions applicable to any electron
device of a specified type as defined by its published data,
and should not be exceeded under the worst probable
conditions.
The device manufacturer chooses these values to prOVide
acceptable serviceability of the device, taking no responsibility for equipment variations, environmental variations, and
the effects of changes in operating conditions due to
variations in device characteristics.
The equipment manufacturer should design so that
initially and throughout life no absolute-maximum value for
the intended service is exceeded with any device under the
worst probable operating conditions with respect to supplyvoltage variation, equipment component variation, equipment control adjustment, load variation, signal variation,
environmental conditions, and variations in device characteristics.
It is recommended that equipment manufacturers consult
RCA whenever device applications involve unusual electrical,
mechanical or environmental operating conditions.
GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The design flexibility provided by these devices makes

possible their use in a broad range of applications and under
many different operating conditions. When incorporating

these devices in equipment, therefore, designers should
anticipate the rare possibility of device failure and make
certain that no safety hazard would result from such an
occurrence.
The small size of most solid state products provides
obvious advantages to the designers of electronic equipment.
However, it should be recognized that these compact devices
usually provide only relatively small insulation area between
adjacent leads and the metal envelope. When these devices
are used in moist or contaminated atmospheres, therefore,
supplemental protection must be provided to prevent the
development of electrical conductive paths across the
relatively small insulating surfaces. For specific information
on voltage creepage, the user should consult references such
as the J EDEC Standard No. 7 "Suggested Standard on
Thyristors," and JEDEC Standard RS282 "Standards for
Silicon Rectifier Diodes and Stacks".
The metal shells of some solid state devices operate at the
collector voltage and for some rectifiers and thyristors at the
anode voltage. Therefore, consideration should be given to
the possibility of shock hazard if the shells are to operate at
voltages appreciably above or below ground potential. In
general, in any application in which devices are operated at
voltages which may be dangerous to personnel, suitable
precautionary measures should be taken to prevent direct
contact with these devices.
Devices should not be connected into or disconnected
from circuits with the power on because high transient
voltages may cause permanent damage to the devices.
In common with many electronic components, solid-state

devices should be operated and tested in circuits which have
reasonable values of current limiting resistance, or other
forms of effective current overload protection. Failure to
observe these precautions can cause excessive internal heating
of the device resulting in destruction and/or possible
shattering of the enclosure.
TRANSISTORS WITH FLEXIBLE LEADS

Flexible leads are usually soldered to the circuit
elements. It is desirable in all soldering operations to provide
some slack or an expansion elbow in each lead, to prevent
excessive tension on the leads. It is important during the
soldering operation to avoid excessive heat in order to
prevent possible damage to the devices. Some of the heat can
be absorbed if the flexible lead of the device is grasped
between the case and the soldering point with a pair of pliers.
TRANSISTORS WITH MOUNTING FLANGES
The mounting flanges of JEDEC- type packages such as
the TO-3 or TO-66 often serve as the collector or anode
terminal. In such cases, it is essential that the mounting
flange be securely fastened to the heat sink, which may be
the equipment chassis. Under no circumstances, however,
should the mounting flange be soldered directly to the heat
sink or chassis because the heat of the soldering operation
could permanently damage the device.
Such devices can be installed in commercially available
sockets. Electrical connections may also be made by
soldering directly to the terminal pins. Such connections may
be soldered to the pins close to the pin seals provided care is
taken to conduct excessive heat away from the seals;
otherwise the heat of the soldering operation could crack the
pin seals and damage the device.
During operation, the mounting-flange temperature is
higher than the ambient temperature by an amount which
depends on the heat sink used. The heat sink must have
sufficient thermal capacity to assure that the heat dissipated
in the heat sin k itself does not raise the device moun tingflange temperature above the rated value. The heat sink or
chassis may be connected to either the positive or negative
supply.
[n many applications the chassis is connected to the
voltage-supply terminal. If the recommended mounting
hardware shown in the data bulletin for the specific
solid-state device is not available, it is necessary to use either
an anodized aluminum insulator having high thermal conductivity or a mica insulator between the mounting-flange
and the chassis. [f an insulating aluminum washer is required,
it should be drilled or punched to provide the two mounting
holes for the terminal pins. The burrs should then be
removed from the washer and the washer anodized. To insure
that the anodized insulating layer is not destroyed during
mounting, it is necessary to remove the burrs from the holes
in the chassis.
It is also important that an insulating bushing, such as
glass-filled nylon, be used between each mounting bolt and
the chassis to prevent a short circuit. However, the insulating
bushing should not exhibit shrinkage or softening under the
operating temperatures encountered. Otherwise the thermal
resistance at the interface between transistor and heat sink
may increase as a result of decreasing pressure.
PLASTIC POWER TRANSISTORS AND THYRISTORS
RCA power transistors and thyristors (SCR's and triacs)
in molded-silicone-plastic packages are available in a wide
range of power-dissipation ratings and a variety of package

configurations. The following paragraphs provide guidelines
for handling and mounting of these plastic-package devices,
recommend forming of leads to meet specific mounting
requirements, and describe various mounting arrangements,
thermal considerations, and cleaning methods. This information is intended to augment the data on electrical characteristics, safe operating area, and performance capabilities in the
technical bulletin for each type of plastic-package transistor
or thyristor.
Lead-Forming Techniqup.s
The leads of the RCA VERSAWATT in-line plastic
packages can be formed to a custom shape, provided they are
not indiscriminately twisted or bent. Although these leads
can be formed, they are not flexible in the general sense, nor
are they sufficiently rigid for unrestrained wire wrapping
Before an attempt is made to form the leads of an in-line
package to meet the requirements of a specific application,
the desired lead configuration should be determined, and a
lead-bending fixture should be designed and constructed. The
use of a properly designed fixture for this operation
eliminates the need for repeated lead bending. When the use
of a special bending fixture is not practical, a pair of
long-nosed pliers may be used. The pliers should hold the
lead firmly between the bending point and the case, but
should not touch the case.
When the leads of an in-line plastic package are to be
formed, whether by use of long-nosed pliers or a special
bending fixture, the folloWing precautions must be observed
to avoid internal damage to the device:
I.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Restrain the lead between the bending point and the

plastic case to prevent relative movement between the
lead and the case.
When the bend is made in the plane of the lead
(spreading), bend only the narrow part of the lead.
When the bend is made in the plane perpendicular to that
of the leads, make the bend at least 1/8 inch from the
plastic case.
Do not use a lead-bend radius of less than 1/16 inch.
Avoid repeated bending of leads.
The leads of the TO-220AB VERSAWATT in-line

package are not designed to withstand excessive axial pull.
Force in this direction greater than 4 pounds may result in
permanent damage to the device. If the mounting arrangement tends to impose axial stress on the leads, some method
of strain relief should be devised.
Wire wrapping of the leads is permissible, provided that
the lead is restrained between the plastic case and the point
of the wrapping. Soldering to the leads is also allowed. The
maximum soldering temperature, however, must not exceed
2750C and must be applied for not more than 5 seconds at a
distance not less than 1/8 inch from the plastic case. When
wires are used for connections, care should be exercised to
assure that movement of the wire does not cause movement
of the lead at the lead-to-plastic junctions.
The leads of RCA molded-plastic high-power packages

are not designed to be reshaped. However, simple bending of
the leads is pe,mitted to change them from a standard
vertical to a standard horizontal configuration, or conversely.
Bending of the leads in this manner is restricted to three
90-degree bends; repeated bendings should be avoided.
Mounting
Recommended mounting arrangements and suggested

hardware for the VERSA WAIT transistors are given in the
data bulletins for specific devices and in RCA Application
Note AN-4124. When the transistor is fastened to a heat sink,
a rectangular washer (RCA Part No. NR231 A) is recommended to minimize distortion of the mounting flange.
Excessive distortion of the flange could cause damage to the
transistor. The washer is particularly important when the size
of the mounting hole exceeds 0.140 inch (6-32 clearance).
Larger holes are needed to accommodate insulating bushings;
however, the holes should not be larger than necessary to
provide hardware clearance and, in any case, should not
exceed a diameter of 0.250 inch.
Flange distortion is also possible if excessive torque is
used during moun ting. A maximum torque of 8 inch-pounds
is specified. Care should be exercised to assure that the tool
used to drive the mounting screw never comes in contact
with the plastic body during the driving operation. Such
contact can result in damage to the plastic body and internal
device connections. An excellent method of avoiding this
problem is to use a spacer or combination spacer-isolating
bushing which raises the screw head or nu t above the top
surface of the plastic body. The material used for such a
spacer or spacer-isolating bushing should, of course, be
carefully selected to avoid "cold flow" and consequent
reduction in mounting force. Suggested materials for these
bushings are diallphtalate, fiberglass-filled nylon, or fiberglass-filled polycarbonate. Unfilled nylon should be avoided.
Modification of the flange can also result in flange
distortion and should not be attempted. The transistor
should not be soldered to the heat sink by use of lead-tin
solder because the heat required with this type of solder will
cause the junction temperature of the transistor to become
excessively high.
The. TO220AA plastic transistor can be mounted in
commercially
available TO-66 sockets, such as UID
Electronics Corp. Socket No. PTS4 or equivalent. For
testing purposes, the TO-220AB in-line package can be
mounted in a Jetron Socket No. DC74-104 or equivalent.
Regardless of the mounting
method,
the following
precautions should be taken:
1. Use appropriate hardware.
2. Always fasten the transistor to the heat sink before the
leads are soldered to fixed terminals.
3. Never allow the mounting tool to come in contact with
the plastic case.
4. Never exceed a torque of 8 inch-pounds.
5. Avoid oversize mounting holes.
6. Provide strain relief if there is any probability that axial
stress will be applied to the leads.
7. Use insulating bushings to prevent hot-creep problems.

Such bushings should be made of diallphthalate, fiberglass-filled nylon, or fiberglass-filled polycarbonate.
The maximum allowable power dissipation in a solid
state device is limited by the junction temperature. An
important factor in assuring that the junction temperature
remains below the specified maximum value is the ability of
the associ~ted thermal circuit to conduct heat away from the
device.
When a solid state device is operated in free air, without a
heat sink, the steady-state thermal circuit is defined by the
junction-to-free-air thermal resistance given in the published
data for the device. Thermal considerations require that a
free flow of air around the device is always present and that
the power dissipation be maintained below the level which
would cause the junction temperature to rise above the
maximum rating. However, when the device is mounted on a
heat sink, care must be taken to assure that all portions of
the thermal circuit are considered.
To assure efficient heat transfer from case to heat sink
when mounting RCA molded-plastic solid state power
devices, the following special precautions
should be
observed:
I. Mounting torque should be between 4 and 8 inchpounds.
2. The mounting holes should be kept as small as possible.
3. Holes should be drilled or punched clean with no burrs or
ridges, and chamfered to a maximum radius of 0.010
inch.
4. The mounting surface should be flat within 0.002
inch/inch.
5. Thermal grease (Dow Corning 340 or equivalent) should
always be used on both sides of the insulating washer if
one is employed.
6. Thin insulating washers should be used. (Thickness of
factory-supplied mica washers range from 2 to 4 mils).
7. A lock washer or torque washer, made of material having
sufficient creep strength, should be used to prevent
degradation of heat sink efficiency during life.
A wide variety of solvents is available for degreasing and
flux removal. The usual practice is to submerge components
in a solvent bath for a specified time. However, from a
reliability stand point it is extremely important that the
solvent, together with other chemicals in the solder-cleaning
system (such as flux and solder covers), do not adversely
affect the life of the component. This consideration applies
to all non-hermetic and molded-plastic components.
It is, of course, impractical to evaluate the effect on
long-term transistor life of all cleaning solvents, which are
marketed with numerous additives under a variety of brand
names. These solvents can, however, be classified with
respect to their component parts, as either acceptable or
unacceptable. Chlorinated solvents tend to dissolve the outer
package and, therefore, make operation in a humid atmosphere unreliable. Gasoline and other hydrocarbons cause the
inner encapsulant to swell and damage the transistor. Alcohol

and unchlorinated freons are acceptable solvents. Examples
of such solvents are:
I. Freon TE
2. Freon TE-35
3. Freon TP-35 (Freon PC)
4. Alcohol (isopropanol, methanol, and special denatured
alcohols, such as SDA I, SDA30, SDAJ4, and SDA44)
Care must also be used in the selection of fluxes for lead
soldering. Rosin or activated rosin fluxes are recommended,
while organic or acid fluxes are not. Examples of acceptable
fluxes are:
I. Alpha Reliaros No. 320-33
2. Alpha Reliaros No. 346
3. Alpha Reliaros No. 711
4. Alpha Reliafoam No. 807
5. Alpha Reliafoam No. 809
6. Alpha Reliafoam No. 811-13
7. Alpha Reliafoam No. 815-35
8. Kester No. 44
If the completed assembly is to be encapsulated, the
effect on the molded-plastic transistor must be studied from
both a chemical and a physical standpoint.
RECTIFIERS
AND THYRISTORS
A surge-limiting impedance should always be used in

series with silicon rectifiers and thyristors. The impedance
value must be sufficient to limit the surge current to the
value specified under the maximum ratings. This impedance
may be proVided by the power transformer winding, or by an
external resistor or choke.
A very efficient method for mounting thyristors utiliZing
packages such as the JEDEC TO-5 and "modified TO-5" is to
provide intimate contact between the heat sink and at least
one half of the base of the device opposite the leads. These
packages can be mounted to the heat sink mechanically with
glue or an epoxy adhesive, or by soldering. Soldering to the
heat sink is preferable because it is the most efficient
method.
The use of a "self-jigging" arrangement and a solder
preform is recommended. Such an arrangement is illustrated
in RCA Publication
MHI-300B, "Mounting Hardware
Supplied with RCA Semiconductor Devices". If each unit is
soldered individually, the heat source should be held on the
heat sink and the solder on the unit. Heat should be applied
only long enough to permit solder to flow freely. For more
detailed thyristor mounting considerations, refer to Application Note AN3822, "Thermal Considerations in Mounting
of RCA Thyristors".
MOS FIELD-EFFECT
TRANSISTORS
Insulated-Gate Metal Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect

Transistors
(MOS FETs), like bipolar high-frequency
transistors, are susceptible to gate insulation damage by the
electrostatic discharge of energy through the devices.
Electrostatic discharges can occur in an MOS FET if a type
with an unprotected gate is picked up and the static charge,
built in the handler's body capacitanu' is discharged through
*Trade Mark: Emerson and Cumming, Inc.
the device. With proper handling and applications

procedures, however, MOS transistors are currently being
extensively used in production by numerous equipment
manufacturers in military, industrial, and consumer applications, with virtually no problems of damage due to
electrostatic discharge.
In some MOS FETs, diodes are electrically connected
between each insulated gate and the transistor's source.
These diodes offer protection against static discharge and
in-circuit transients without the need for external shorting
mechanisms. MOS FETs which do not include gateprotection diodes can be handled safely if the follOWingbasic
precau tions are taken:
I. Prior to assembly into a circuit, all leads should be kept
shorted together either by the use of metal shorting
springs attached to the device by the vendor, or by the
insertion into conductive material such as "ECCOSORB*
LD26" or equivalent.
(NOTE: Polystyrene insulating "SNOW" is not sufficiently conductive and should not be used.)
2. When devices are removed by hand from their carriers,
the hand being used should be grounded by any suitable
means, for example, with a metallic wristband.
3. Tips of soldering irons should be grounded.
4. Devices should never be inserted into or removed from
circuits with power on.
INTEGRATED
CIRCUITS
In any method of mounting integrated circuits which

involves bending or forming of the device leads, it is
extremely important that the lead be supported and clamped
between the bend and the package seal, and that bending be
done with care to avoid damage to lead plating. In no case
should the radius of the bend be less than the diameter of the
lead, or in the case of rectangular leads, such as those used in
RCA 14-lead and 16-lead flat-packages, less than the lead
thickness. It is also extremely important that the ends of the
bent leads be straight to assure proper insertion through the
holes in the printed-drcuit board_
COS/MOS (Complementary-Symmetry
MOS)
Integrated Circuits
1. Handling
All COS/MOS gate inputs have a resistor/diode gate

protection network. All transmission gate inputs and all
outputs have diode protection prOVided by inherent p-n
junction diodes. These diode networks at input and output
interfaces fully protect COS/MOS devices from gate-oxide
failure (70 to 100 volt limit) for static discharge or signal
voltage up to I to 2 kilovolts under most transient or
low-current conditions.
Although protection
against electrostatic
effects is
provided by built-in circuitry, the following handling
precautions should be taken:
I. Soldering-iron tips and test equipment should be
grounded.
2. Devices should not be inserted in non-conductive
containers such as conventional plastic snow or trays.
Unused
Inputs
All unused input leads must be connected to either VSS

or VDD, whichever is appropriate for the logic circuit
involved. A floating input on a high-current type, such as the
CD4009A, CD40IOA, not only can result in faulty logic
operation, but can cause the maximum power dissipation of
200 milliwatts to be exceeded and may result in damage to
the device. Inputs to these types, which are mounted on
printed-circuit
boards that may temporarily
become
unterminated, should have a pull-up resistor to VSS or VDD.
A useful range of values for such resistors is from 0.2 to I
megohm.
Input Signals
Signals shall not be applied to the inputs while the device
power supply is off unless the input current is limited to a
steady state value of less than 10 milliamperes.
Output Short Circuits
Shorting of outputs to VSS or VDD can damage many of

the higher-out put-current CaS/MaS
types, such as the
CD4007A, CD4009A, and CD4010A. In general, these types
can all be safely shorted for supplies up to 5 volts, but will be
damaged (depending on type) at higher power-supply
voltages. For cases in which a short-circuit load, such as the
base of a p-n-p or an n-p-n bipolar transistor, is directly
driven, the device output characteristics given in the
published data should be consulted to determine the
requirements for a safe operation below 200 milliwatts.
For detailed CaS/MaS IC Handling Considerations, refer
to Application Note ICAN-6000 "Handling Considerations
for MaS Integrated Circuits".
Solid state chips, unlike packaged devices, are nonhermetic devices, normally fragile and small in physical size,
and therefore, require special handling considerations as
follows:
I. Chips must be stored under proper conditions to insure
that they are not subjected to a moist and/or contaminated atmosphere that could alter their electrical,
physical, or mechanical characteristics. After the shipping
container is opened, the chip must be stored under the
following conditions:
A. Storage temperature, 400C max.
B. Relative humidity, 50% max.
C. Clean, dust-free environment.
2. The user must exercise proper care when handling chips
to prevent even the slightest physical damage to the chip.
3. During mounting and lead bonding of chips the user must
use proper assembly techniques to obtain proper electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance.
4. After the chip has been mounted and bonded, any
necessary procedure must be followed by the user to
insure that these non-hermetic chips are not subjected to
moist or contaminated atmosphere which might cause
the development of electrical conductive paths across the
relatively small insulating surfaces. In additior., proper
consideration must be given to the protection of these
devices from other harmful environments which could
conceivably adversely affect their proper performance.

Design Considerations for the

RCA-S6431M Silicon Controlled Rectifier
In High-Current Pulse Applications
by
D. E. Burke and G. W. Albrecht
Silicon controlled rectifiers (SCR's) are often used
in pulse circuits in which the ratio of peak to average
current is large.
Typical applications
include radar
pulse modulators, inverters, and switching regulators.
The limiting parameter in such applications
often is
the time required for forward current to spread over
the whole area of the junction.
Losses in the SCR
are high, and are concentrated in a small region until
the entire junction area is in conduction.
This concentration produces undesirable high temperatures.

form of turn-off is indicated in Fig.2(bl.
This
When the energy-storage

network is recharged
from the dc supply, the SCR returns to the forwardblocking condition and is ready foc the next cycle.
The recharge interval (t3 - t4) may be delayed by use
of a charging SCR, as shown in Figs.l and 2 (t2 - t3).
This technique reduces the turn-off time requirements
for the SCR.
The rate of rec harge infl uences the
dv/ dt requirements for the SCR.
Figs.l and 2 illustrate only one of a great variety
of pulse circuits, each of which would have particular
requirements
for the SCR.
A common requirement
would be to pass focward currents
with particular
emphasis on shape and magnitude.
TurnOn Time Definitions
A typical SCR pulse modulator circuit is shown

in Fig.I.
Basic waveforms for the circuit are shown
in Fig.2. The capacitors of the energy-storage network
are charged by the dc supply.
The SCR is triggered
by pulses from the gate-trigger generator No.1, and the
energy-storage
network discharges
through an inductance and the load (transformer).
Fig.2 shows that the
discharge of the storage network (t 1- t2) is oscillatory;
the half-sine-wave
shape is characteristic
of a single
LC-section energy-storage network.
For turn-off, the load is "mismatched"
to the
discharge-circuit
impedance so that a negative voltage
is developed on the capacitor at the end of the pulse.
In the idealized waveforms of Fig.2, the SCR is

presented as a perfect switch.
Actually, it exhibits
a finite resistance
prior to turn-on, a delay after the
introduction
of the trigger pulse,
and appreciable
resistance
after turn-on.
The common definition of turn-on time adequately
covers the delay and rise-time intervals of the turn-on
process,
but does not consider the rate of current
spread over the junction area and its attendant dissipation.
Because the dissipation
after turn-on is an
important consideration
in pulse circuits, turn-on definitions in themselves
provide no indication
of the
switching capability of the SCR.

Capability
Because several different physical effects occur

in the SCR during the complete turn-on interval, it is
convenient to divide the total turn-on time into three
discrete
intervals:
delay time tl, fall time tz, and
equalizing time t3' These intervals are shown in Fig.3.
The sol id lines represent device turn-on to low steadystate
forward current,
in which case equalization
effects are not pronounced. The dashed lines represent
SCR turn-on to high currents, in which case t3 becomes
a noticeable interval.
The first interval (tl or delay time) results from
the initiation of forward conduction between the p-type
base and the n-type emitter (i.e., injection of holes
through the gate-cathode junction and injection of electrons through the cathode-gate junction>. This interval
depends to a Iarge extent upon the level of gate current used to turn on the SCR. The use of a trigger
pul se greater than the min imum gate-current requirement
of the SCR minimizes delay time and reduces the range
of the delay times encountered
between individual
SeR's, the variability of delay with temperature, and
the variability of cycle-to-cycle
delay or jitter.* There
are no significant
power losses
in the SCR during
delay.
The del ay interval is primarily of interest
because of its effect on system perfonnance.
--1-
--
As an example, the rise-time portion of turn-on

is defined as the time interval between the 10-per-cent
and 90-per-cent points on the current wave shape when
the SCR is triggered on in a circuit that has rated
forward voltage and sufficient resistance
to limit the
current to rated values.
For a 600-volt device, the end
of the turn-on interval occurs when the forward voltage
drop across the SCR is 60 volts. This value contrasts
with the steady-state
forward voltage of only 1 or Z
volts under such conditions.
An interval many times
greater than the turn-on time may be -required before
the forward voltage drop reduces to the steady-state
level.

The second interval (tz or fall time) depends on
the initiation of forward conduction between the p-type
emitter and the n-type emitter (i.e., anode-to-cathode
current).
When this phenomenon is isolated from current ef'gcts,
as described
later, the duration of the
voltage fall time measured from the 9O-per-cent to the
10-per-cent point is less than 0.3 microsecond. Voltage
fall time is illustrated
in Fig.4 for a range of initial

The third discrete interval during turn-on, equalization time (t3 of Fig.3), represents the time required for
the current to spread over the junction area. The forward current resulting from the initial voltage fall is
concentrated in a small area of the junction and spreads
gradually over the entire area. The rate of increase
in the active j unction area depends on the geometry
and the junction parameters, and is infll!enced by the
levels of driving voltage and current. In general, the
time required for full utilization of junction area represents a considerably longer interval than tl (delay)

Fig.9 shows the allowable

This curve, together
with those in Figs.7 and 8, gives an indication of the
feasibility of using the 86431 M in a high-current pulse
application.
Fig.IO illustrates the calculation of device dissipation and pulse repetition rate for a particular pulse
For given conditions of current rise time, current

level, and gate drive, t3 could be defined as the time
required for forward voltage to decrease to a given
multiple of the final steady-state value under a constant-current pulse.
Such a definition would be more
indicative of switching capability than the conventional
definition of turn-on time as the time required for forward ON-state voltage to decrease to a percentage
of the initial blocking voltage. At best, however, either
type of definition has only limited usefulness to the
user.
Characteristics

Because the major factor In the rating of SCR's

for this
characteristic.
Figs.5 and 6 show two families of
rating curves which make it possible to calculate the
power loss per pulse and the average power loss for a
particular current-pulse shape, magnitude, and repetition
rate desired.
Figs.7 and 8 show maximum allowable
repetition rates and pulse amplitudes for several pulse
shapes, and are useful as a quick estimating guide
for the pulse-current switching capability of the 86431 M
SCR.
Limits must also be imposed upon the instantaneous
temperature rise of the junction over the average case

shape.
In the example shown, the pulse has a peak
magnitude of 500 amperes and a base width of 5 microseconds. The curves shown in Fig.IO are constructed
from the curves of Figs.5 and 6 by means of a series
of readings at different time intervals (delay and fall
regions are neglected),
A step-by-step approximate
Because the interval of highest dissipation occurs

at the beginning of the current pulse, reduction in the
magnitude of current during this time increases the
over-all switching capability of the SCR. The current
may be reduced by use of a saturable reactor in the
pulse-<iischarge circuit which has sufficient unsaturated
volt-second capacity to present a high impedance for
one to two microseconds.
The current is then small,
and dissipation is limited, until the junction area in
conduction increases to incl ude an appreciable percentage of the total cathode. By the time the reactor
saturates and high pulse current results, the cathode
area in conduction is adequate to handle the high current with low dissipation.
The rate of current spread over the cathode area
depends upon several factors, one of which is the
level of current. Therefore, the use of a delay reactor
to keep forward current low also delays the spread
of current to some extent and subtracts from its beneficial effects.
The maximum benefit can be achieved
by reduction of the inductance of the reactor prior to
saturation, or by addition of another impedance in
parallel with the reactor, to effect a compromise between the initial current level and dissipation and
the rate of current-density equalization.
The curves
in thi s Note do not represent the use of a delayreactor.
In addition to the power loss in the SCR caused by
forward current, the total dissipation in the device
includes forward and reverse blocking losses and
probably reverse recovery losses during the turn-off
process.
The reverse recovery losses depend upon
several factors, such as forward-current amplitude, rate
of decrease of forward current, reverse-current flow,
rate of rise of reverse voltage, and reverse-voltage
amplitude. Because reverse losses are circuit-dependent, they can best be evaluated in a working circuit.

Application of RCA Silicon Controlled Rectifiers

to the Control of Universal Motors
by
J.V. Yonushka
Silicon controlled rectifiers

have been widely
accepted in power-control applications
in industrial
systems where high-performance requirements justify
the economics of the application.
Historically, in the
commercial high-volume market, economic considerations have precluded the use of the SCR. However,
with the development of a family of SCR's by RCA designed specifically
for mass-production economy and
rated for 120- and 240-volt line operation, the use of
these devices in controls for many types of small electric motors has been made economically feasible.
The
controls can be designed to provide good performance,
maximum efficiency, and high reliability in compact
packaging arrangements.
The control circuits discussed in the following text
are typical of the many possible circuits applicable to
electric motor control. A general description including
the typical characteristics of universal motors is given.
Speed control by use of phase-angle variations is discussed; schematic diagrams are given, and the advantages and limitations of each circuit are contrasted.
A
chart of availableSCR's
is shown at the end of the Note.
Universal Mators
Many fractional horsepower motors are series-wound

"universal" motors, so named because of their ability
to operate directly from either ac or dc power sources.
Fig.l is a schematic of this type of motor operated
from an ac supply. Because most domestic applications
today require 60-hertz power. universal motors are
usually designed to have optimum performance characteristics

at this frequency.
Most universal motors
run faster at a given dc voltage than at the same 60hertz ac voltage.
The field winding of a universal motor, whether
distributed or lumped (salient pole), is in series with
the armature and external circuit, as shown in Fig.1.
Fig.! . Schematic diagram far a series-waund

universal
motor.
The current through the field winding produces a magnetic field which cuts across the armature conductors.
The action of this field in opposition to the field set up
by the armature current subjects the individual conductors to a lateral thrust which results in armature
rotation.
AC operation of a universal motor is possible
cause of the nature of its electrical connections.
the ac source voltage reverses every half-eycle,
beAs
the
magnetic field produced by the field winding reverses

its direction simultaneously.
Because the armature
windings are in series with the field windings through
the brushes and commutating segments, the current
through the armature winding also reverses.
Because
both the magnetic field and armature current are reversed, the direction of the lateral thrust on the armature
windings remains constant.
As the armature rotates through the magnetic field,
a voltage opposite to the impressed voltage is induced
in the individual conductors.
Counter emf produced in
the armature conductors is therefore proportional to
motor speed.
In half-wave operation, during the nonconducting half-cycle of an SCR, the rotating armature
still produces a counter emf because of the residual
magnetism of the field poles.
In some of the applications described, the counter emf of an operating motor
is used as a means of providing speed regulation to
compensate for changing shaft loads.
The current through an operating motor armature
depends upon the difference between the impressed
voltage (emf) and the counter emf. The current that
flows through a universal motor when it is initially
energized is large because there is no rotation to generate a counter emf in the armature windings. The starting
current is limited only by the impedance of the armature
and field windings.
The ratio of peak starting current
to peak running current can be as high as 10: 1.
The speed of a series motor automatically adjusts
itself so that the difference between the impressed voltage and the counter emf is sufficient to permit enough
current to flow to develop the torque required by the
load.
At very light loads, or at no load, the current
through a universal motor is small. To maintain a small
current through the motor, the counter emf must be high
enough so that only a small difference exists between
the impressed voltage and the counter emf. The small
current through the motor also results in a weak magnetic-field flux because it is the current through the
field winding that produces the fl ux. The weakened
magnetic-field flux tends to make the motor speed increase even further to prod uce the high counter emf
requi red to maintain a small motor current.
It would
appear, then, that universal motors should tend to "run
away" at no load. This run-away do~s not occur, however, because motors of this type usually offer enough
friction and windage loss to limit the maximum attainable no-load speed to a safe val ue.
When a mechan ical load is attached to a universal
motor, the current through the motor must increase to
provide the increased torque required by the load. An
increase in the current through the motor requires an
increase in the difference between the impressed vol tage and the counter emf. This increased difference can
only be brought about by a reduction in counter emf
derived from a decrease in speed.
For an uncompen-
sated universal motor, the full-load speed is approximately 60 per cent or less of the no-load speed.
The torque developed by a universal motor is a
direct result of the magnitude of magnetic-field flux and
armature ClU'rent. For fixed mechanical loads, the starting torque of a universal motor is high because the
armature current at starting time is high; at "stall" conditions,
because of the large armature current, the
t0rque is again high. The stall torque of a series motor
can be as high as 10 times the continuous rated torque.
Because torque and armature current influence the
speed of a universal motor, it is possible under certain
operating conditions to vary the impressed voltage and
influence operating characteristics
of the motor. For
increased mechanical loads, an increase in the impressed voltage produces a larger armature current and tends
to keep the speed constant.
High starting torque, adjustable
speed characteristics,
and small size are
distinct advantages of a universal motor over a comparably rated single-phase
induction motor. Typical

Control
One of the simplest and most efficient means of

varying the impressed voltage to a load on an ac power
system is by control of the conduction angle of an SCR
placed in series with the load. Typical curves showing
the variation of motor speed with SCR conduction angle
for both half-wave and full-wave impressed motor voltages are illustrated in Fig.3. If desired, a switch may
be installed in the half-wave circuits so that the SCR
and its related control circuit can be bypassed for fullpower operation.
HolfWove
Control
There are many good circuits available for halfwave control of universal motors; their attributes and
limitations are described in detail below. The circuits
are divided into two classes; regulating and non-regulating. Regulation in this instance implies load sensing
and compensation of the system to prevent changes in
of the neon lamp improves noise rejection and prevents

erratic firing of the SCR because of brush noises on
the voltage supply lines.
Table I shows components
for the circuit of FigA.

motor
motor speed. The type of regulation provided by each

circuit is stated and compared to other circuits.
The half-wave proportional control circuit shown
in FigA is a non-regulating circuit whose function depends upon an RC delay network for gate phase-lag
control.
This circuit is better than simple resistance
firing circuits because the phase-shifting characteristics
of the RC network permit the firing of the SCR beyond
the peak of the impressed voltage, resulting in small
conduction angles and very slow speed.
The control circuit shown in FigA uses the breakdown voltage of a neon lamp as a threshold setting for
firing the SCR. The neon lamp is specifically designed
for handling the high-eurrent pulses required to trigger
SCR's.
When the voltage across capacitor C reaches
the breakdown voltage of the neon lamp, the lamp fires,
and C discharges through the lamp to its maintaining
voltage.
At this point, the lamp again reverts to its
high-impedance state.
The discharge of the capacitor
from breakdown to maintaining voltage of the neon lamp
provides a current pulse of sufficient magnitude to fire
the SCR. Once the SCR has fired, the voltage across
the phase-shift network reduces to the forward voltage
drop of the SCR for the remainder of the half-cycle. The
range of conduction angles of this circuit is approximately 30 to 150 degrees. The high breakdown voltage

action leads to the
rapid saturation of transistors Q 1 and Q2. Capacitor C 1
discharges
through the saturated transistors
into the
gate of the SCR. When the SCR fires, the remaining
portion of the positive half-cycle of ac power is applied
to the motor. Speed control is accomplished by adjustment of potentiometer
R 1. With component values as

Fig.7 shows a variation of the circuit in Fig.5.

The basic difference between the two circuits is that
the circuit in Fig.7 provides feedback for changing
load conditions to minimize changes in motor speed.
The feedback is provided by R7' which is in series with
the motor. A voltage proportional to the peak current
through the motor is developed across the resistor.
This voltage is stored on capacitor Cz through diode
CRz, and is of a polarity that causes the bias on the
resistance network ofR3 and R4 to change in accordance
with the load on the motor. With an increasing motor'
load, the speed tends to decrease.
This decrease in
motor speed causes more current to flow through the
motor armature and field windings.
When the current
flowing through R7 increases,
the voltage stored on
capacitor Cz increases in the positive direction.
This
increase in capacitor voltage causes the transistors
to
conduct earlier in the cycle, to fire the SCR, and to
provide a greater portion of the power cycle to the
motor. With a decreasing
load, the motor current decreases
and the voltage stored by capacitor Cz decreases.
The transistors
and SCR then conduct later
in the cycle.
The resultant reduction in the average
power supplied to the motor causes a reduced torque to
the smaller load. Because motor current is a function of
the motor itself, resistor R7 has to be matched with the
motor rating to provide optimum feedback for load compensation.
Resistor R7 may range from 0.1 ohm for
At no load and at the low-speed control setting,

"skip-cycl ing' operation occurs, and motor speeds are
erratic.
Because no counter emf is induced in the armature when the motor is standing still, the SCR fires
at low bias settings.
The motor is then accelerated to
a point at which counter emf induced in the rotating
armature excceds the gatc-firing bias of the SCR and
prevents the SCR from firing. The SCR is not able to
fire again until the speed of the motor is rcduced (because of friction and windage losses) to a value for
which the induced voltage in the rotating armature is
less than the gate bias.
At this time the SCR fires
again: The motor deceleration occurs over a number of

to the motor,
When a load is applied to the motor, the motor

speed decreases and thus reduces the counter emf induced in the rotating armature. With a reduced counter
emf, the SCR fires earlier in the cycle and provides
increased motor torque to the load. Fig.6 also shows
variations of conduction angle with changes in counter
emf. The counter emf appears as a constant voltage
at the motor terminals when the SCR is blocking.
Because the counter emf is essentially
a characteristic
of the motor, different potentiometer
settings are required for comparable operating conditions for different
motors. Circuit values for use with various RCA SCR's
are shown in Table III.
The counter emf is a function of speed and, therefore, can be used as an indication' of speer: changes as
mechanical
load varies.
The gate-firing circuit is a
resistance
network consisting
of R1 and Rz.
During
the positive half-cycle of the source voltage, a fraction
of the voltage is developed at the center-tap of the
potentiometer
and is compared with the counter emf
developed in the rotating armature of the motor. When
the bias developed at the gate of the SCR from the
potentiometer
exceeds the counter emf of the motor,
the SCR fires.
AC power is then applied to the motor
for the remaining portion of the positive half-cycle.
Speed control is accompl ished by adjustment of potentiometer R l' If the SCR is fired early in the cycle, the
motor operates at high speed because essentially
the
full rated line voltage is applied to the motor. If the
SCR is fired later in the cycle, the average value of
voltage applied to the motor is reduced, and a corresponding reduction in motor speed occurs. On the negative half-cycle,
the SCR blocks voltage to the motor.
The voltage applied to the gate of the SCR is a sine
wave because it is derived from the sine-wave line voltage. The minimum conduction angle occurs at the peak
of the sine wave and is restricted to 90 degrees.
Increasing conduction angles occur when the gate bias
to the SCR is increased to allow firing at voltage values
which are less than the peak value.

This section discusses

the application of SCR's

A very simple SCR full-wave proportional control
circuit is shown in Fig.S.
Again, ac phase shifting
and neon triggering are used to provide gate phaseangle control; a small pulse transformer is utilized for
isolation.
The circuit provides a symmetrical output
for both Iralves of the ac input voltage because the same
electrical components are used in the phasing network
for both SCR gates. Because the SCR gate circuits are
completely isolated from each other, the cross-talk

its maximum value, C 1 charges to a higher voltage on

each half cycle.
When the positive half-eycle voltage
on C 1 reaches the breakdown potential of the neon lamp,
the lamp fires, allowing C 1 to discharge to the maintaining voltage of the lamp through CR 1 and the lamp
into the gate of SCR2. When SCR2 fires, the voltage
across the control circuit drops to the forward voltage
val ue of the SCR, allowing C 1 to discharge.
On the
next half-cycle, C 1 charges from a lower positive potential and allows the neon lamp to fire earlier in the
cycle. If the potentiometer resistance R2 is increased,
the SCR's fire at a reduced conduction angle and the
hysteresis
effect is produced.
On the negative halfcycle, when the charge on C 1 has reached the breakdown potential of the neon lamp, the capacitor discharges
through CR 2, the lamp, and the primary of transformer
T 1 to the maintaining voltage of the neon lamp. The
current pulse formed by the discharge of C 1 is coupled
by T 1 into the gate of SCR1. For 60-hertz operation,
the transformer characteristics
are not critical because
the magnitude and shape of the current firing pulse are
determined primarily by the charge on the capacitor and
the characteristics
of the neon lamp. Circuit values for
use with various RCA SCR's are shown in Table V.
Conduction angles obtained with this circuit vary from
30 to 150 degrees; at the maximum conduction angle,
the voltage impressed upon the load (universal motor)
is approximately 95 per cent of the input rms voltage.
tive potential at the anode.

When the SCR fires, the
remaining portion of the half-eycle is applied to the
load. On the alternate half-cycle, the other SCR turns
on.
With the component values shown in Fig.9, the
threshold voltage required to fire the transistor circuit
is approximately
8 volts.
Variations
in conduction
angle are accomplished by changing the setting of R 2'
In this circuit, the conduction angles may be varied
from 5 to 170 degrees; this larger range is more desirable when higher power is to be controlled.
An SCR full-wave circuit designed for applications
requiring feedback for compensation of load changes is
shown in Fig.ro.
Operation is similar to that of the
circuits discussed
previously except that this circuit
has full-wave
conduction
with proportional
control.
Again, as In the circuit of Fig.7, R7 must be matched
with the motor rating to provide optimum feedback for
load compensation.
Resistor R7 may range from 0.1
ohm for larger-size
universal
motors to 1.0 ohm for
smaller types. Table VII gives a component list for use
of this circuit with various SCR's.
Ratings
Fig.9 shows a full-wave control circuit that has increased conduction-angle

capability.
Table VI shows
the component chart for use of the circuit with various
SCR's. The threshold point of the transistor circuit can
be changed by varying the value of R3. The phase-shift
network composed of R l' R2, and C 1 permits the variation of conduction angles from minimum to maximum. An

size and environment limit the voltage
and current capabilities
and, consequently,
the powerdissipation
abilities of an SCR. Maximum temperature
ratings usually depend on the use of a heat sink of a
particular size at a prescribed ambient or case temperature.
The main cause of heat within an SCR operating at
60 hertz is the forward current and voltage drop during
conduction.
Under steady-state
conditions,
the heat
generated within the device must be balanced by the
flow of heat to the heat sink and the ambient air. If
more heat is generated within the SCR than can be
dissipated
by the case and the heat sink, the junction
temperature increases and forward blocking capabilities
are lost.
Under these conditions the SCR may break
down thermally in the reverse direction, causing damage
to the SCR pellet.
An increase in heat-sink size to
maintain the balance between heat generated and heat
dissipated assures reliable performance of the SCR.

If a universal motor is operated at low speed under
a heavy mechanical load, it may stall and cause heavy
current flow through the SCR. For this reason, lowspeed heavy-load conditions should be allowed to exist
for only a few seconds to prevent possible circuit
damage. In any case, fuse ratings should be carefully
observed and 1imited to the types and val ues indicated

Application
of RCA Silicon Rectifiers
To Capacitive Loads
When rectifiers are used in capacitive-load

circuits,
the rectifier current waveforms may deviate considerahly from their true sinusoidal shape.
This deviation
is most evident for the peak-to-average
current ratio,
which is somewhat higher than that for a resistive load.
Because of the variation in current wavesh<lpes, calculations of ratings for capacitive-load
circuits are generally more complicated and time-consuming than those
for resistive-load
rectifier circuits.
This Note describes
a simplified rating system
which allows designers to calculate the characteristics
of capacitive-load
rectifier circuits quickly and accurately.
The effect of the addition of a series limiting
resistance
to such circuits and the importance of the
ratio of the limiting resistance
to capacitive reactance
are described, and curves of rectifier current ratios are
presented as functions of the effective ratio. Typical
design examples are given, and output-ripple considerations are discussed.
Table I defines the symbols used
in the equations and calculations.
Design of Capacitor-Input
Circuits
In the design of a rectifier circuit, the output voltage and current, the input voltage, and the ripple and
regulation requirements are usually specified. The transformer and the type of rectifier to be used are selected
by the designer, and the load resistance
is determined
on the basis of the output voltage and current requirements. The ripple requirements are satisfied by use of
a capacitor to shunt the load RL, as shown in Fig. 1.
The waveforms for this circuit indicate that the voltage
across the capacitor F." coincides with the supply voltage E when the rectifier is conducting in the forward
direction.
A high initial diode surge CUlTent IS occurs
because
the capacitor acts as a short circuit when
power is first applied. The diode turns off at the peak

The value of resistance required to protecl the rectifier is calculated from the surge rating chart for lhe
particular device used. Fig. 3 shows surge rating charts
for diffused junction slack rectifiers CR I and CR2.
Each point on the curves defines a surge rating by indicaling the maximum time for which the device can
safely carry a specific value of rms current.
With a capacitive load, maximum surge current occurs if the circuit is switched on when the input voltage
is near its peak value.

Current
The design of rectifier circuits using capacitive

loads often requires the determination of rectifier current waveforms in terms of average, nns, and peak currents. These waveforms are needed for calculations
of
circuit parameters, selection of components, and matching of circuit parameters with rectifier ratings.
Actual
calculation
of rectifier current is a rather lengthy process. A much more direct process is to use the currentrelationship charts shown in Figs. 6 and 7. Thesecurves
can be readily used to find peak or nns current if the
average current is known, or vice versa.
The ratios of peak-ta-average
current and rms-toaverage current are shown in Fig. 6 as functions of the
circuit constants nu;CRL and RS/nRL.
The quantity
wCRL is the ratio of resistive-to-capacitive
reactance
in the load, and the quantity RS/RL is the ratio of limiting resistance to load resistance.
The factor n is referred to as the "charge factor" and is simply a multiplier which allows the chart to be used for various
circuit configurations.
It is equal to unity for half-wave
circuits, \6 for doubler circuits, and 2 for full-wave circuits.

In many silicon rectifier circuits, RS may be completely neglected when compared with the magnitude of
RL. In such circuits, the calculation of rectifier current is even more simplified by the use of Fig. 7, which
gives current ratios under the limitation that RS/RL approaches zero. Even if this condition is not fully satisfied, the use of Fig. 7 merely indicates a higher peak
and higher rms current than will actually flow in the circuit; as a result, the rectifiers will operate more conservatively
than calculated.
This simplified solution
can be used whenever a rough approximation or a quick
check is needed on whether a rectifier will fit the application. When more exact information is needed, Fig.6
should be used.

However, when the ratio of peak-to -average

loads),
j unction heating effects become more and more dependent on rms current rather than average current. Therefore, the capacitive-load
ratings should be obtained
from a curve of rms current as a function of temperature. The average current-rating curves for a sinusoidal

Example No.5:
For the half-wave circuit of Fig. 4, it
was found in Example No.3 that the actual rms current
in the rectifier is 107 milliamperes.
The rms ratingcurve
in Fig. 12 shows that the CR7 may carry up to 107 mil
liamperes at ambient temperatures up to 1150C.
Example No.6: For the doubler circuit of Fig.5, the actual rms current was determined to be 525 milliamperes.
The !'Ins rating curve for the CR6 in Fig. 12 shows
that the circuit may be operated up to 880 C ambient
temperature.
Example No.7:
If the higher values of TInS current
given by the simplified solution are used instead of the
actual currents, the rms rating curves of Fig. 12 also
give more conservative
ratings because they predict a
lower value for the maximum permissible ambient temperature.
For example, for the half-wave circuit the exact rms current was found to be 107 milliamperes,
and
the approximate value was 141 milliamperes.
These
current values correspond to a maximum ambient temperature rating of 1150C by the exact solution and 1100C
by the approximate solution.

In the control of ac power by means of semiconductor

devices. emphasis has been placed upon limiting the complexity of the circuits involved, the cost of the system, and
the over-all package size. With the development
of the
bidirectional
triode thyristor,
commonly
known as the
triac, all of these goals can be achieved. A triac can perform the functions of two SeR's for full-wave operation
and can easily be triggered in either direction to simplify
gate circuits. Because they are rated for 120-volt and 240volt line operation,
triacs are readily adaptable
for the
control of power to any equipment being operated directly
from ac power lines. When used for ac power control,
triacs add new functions to many designs. improve performance. and provide maximum efficiency and high reliability. This Note describes triac operating
characteristics
and provides guidance
in the use of triacs for specific
applications.
Principal

Characteristic
then reverts again to the high-impedance

or OFF state.
If the voltage across the main terminals of the triac is
reversed, the same switching action occurs as shown by
the curve in quadrant
III. Thus, the triac is capable of
switching from the OFF state to the ON state for either
polarity of voltage applied to the main terminals.
Diagram
Fig. I shows the principal voltage-current

characteristic
of a triac. This curve shows the current through the triac
as a function of the voltage applied between main terminals
Nos. I and 2. In quadrant I, the voltage on main terminal
No. 2 is positive with respect to main terminal No. I; in
quadrant III. the voltage on main terminal No.2
is negative with respect to main terminal No. I. When a positive
voltage is applied to main terminal No.2, as shown by the
curve iJl quadrant I, a point is reached, called the breakover voltage V BO, at which the device switches from a
high-impedance
state to a low-impedance
state. The current can then be increased through the triac with only a
small increase in voltage across the device. The triac remains in the ON state until the current through the main
terminals drops below a value, called the holding current,
which cannot maintain the breakover condition. The triac
QUADRANT
MAIN TERMINAL

Gate Characteristics
When a trigger current is applied to the gate terminal
of a triac, the breakover voltage is reduced. After the triac
is triggered, the current flow through the main terminals is
independent of the gate signal and the triac remains in the
ON state until the principal current is reduced below the
holding-current level. The triac has the unique capability of

being triggered by either a positive or a negative gate signal
regardless of the voltage polarity across the main terminals
of the device. Fig. 2 illustrates the triggering mechanism
and current flow within a triac. The gate trigger polarity is
always referenced to main terminal No. I. The potential
difference between the two terminals is such that gate
current flows in the direction indicated by the dotted
arrow. The polarity symbol at main terminal No.2 is also
referenced to main terminal No. I. The semiconductor
materials between the various junctions within the pellet
are labeled p and n to indicate the type of majoritycarrier concentrations
within the material.
Because the principal current influences the gate trigger

current, the magnitude of the current required to trigger
the triac differs for each mode. The operating modes in
which the principal current is in the same direction as the
gate current require less gate trigger current, while modes
in which the principal current is in opposition to the gate
current require more gate trigger current.
Like many other semiconductor parameters, the magnitude of the gate trigger current and voltage varies with the
junction temperature. As the thermal excitation of carriers
within the semiconductor increases, the increase in leakage
current makes it easier for the device to be triggered by a
gate signal. Therefore, the gate becomes more sensitive in all
operating
modes
as the junction
temperature
increases.
Conversely, if the triac is to be operated at low temperatures, sufficient gate trigger current must be provided to
assure triggering of all devices at the lowest operating
temperature expected in any particular application. Variations of gate trigger requirements are given in the data
sheets for individual triacs.
For the various operating modes, the polarity of the

voltage on main terminal No.2 with respect to main terminal No. I is given by the quadrant in which the triac
operates, (either I or Ill) and the polarity of the gate signal
used to trigger the device is given by the propcr symbol
next to the operating quadrant. For the I (+) operating
mode, therefore, main terminal No.2 and the gate are both
positive with respect to main terminal No. I. Initial gate
current flows into the gate terminal, through the p-type
layer, across the junction into the n-type layer, and ".Jut
main terminal No. I, as shown by the dotted arrow. As
gate current flows, current multiplication occurs and the
regenerative action within the pellet switches the triac to its
ON state. Because of the polarities indicated between the
main terminals, the principal current flows through the
pnpn structure as shown by the solid arrow. Similarly, for
the other three operating modes, the initial gate current
flow is shown by the dotted arrow, and principal current
flow through the main terminals is shown by the solid
arrow.
Because the light output of an incandescent lamp depends upon the voltage impressed upon the lamp filament,
changes in the lamp voltage vary the brightness of the
lamp. When ac source voltages are used, a triac can be
used in series with an incandescent lamp to vary the voltage to the lamp by changing its conduction angle; Le.,
the portion of each half cycle of ac line voltage in which
the triac conducts to provide voltage to the lamp filament.
The triac, therefore, is very attractive as a SWitching element in light-dimming applications.
To switch incandescent-lamp loads reliably, a triac must
be able to withstand the inrush current of the lamp load.
The inrush current is a result of the difference between
the cold and hot resistance of the tungsten filament. The
cold resistance of the tungsten filament is much lower than
the hot resistance. The resulting inrush current is approximately 12 times the normal operating current of the lamp.
The simplest circuit that can be used for light-dimming
applications is shown in Fig. 3 and uses a trigger diode
in series with the gate of a triac to minimize the variations
in gate trigger characteristics. Changes in the resistance in
series with the capacitor change the conduction angle of
the triac.
The capacitor in the circuit of Fig. 3 is charged
through the control potentiometer and the series resistance,
The series resistance is used to protect the potentiometer
potentiometer is at its minimum resistance setting. This
resistor may be eliminated if the potentiometer can withstand the peak charging current until the triac turns
on. The trigger diode conducts when the voltage on the
capacitor reaches the diode breakover voltage. The capacitor then discharges through the trigger diode to produce a
current pusle of sufficient amplitude and width to trigger
the triac. Because the triac can be triggered with either

The interaction of the RC network and the trigger diode

characterized
by a difference in the control potentiometer

The
amplitude
of the higher frequencies
in the current step is
of such low levels that they do not interfere with television
or FM radio.
There are two basic types of radio-frequency
interference
(RFI) associated
with the switching
action of triacs. One
form, radiated
RFI, consists of the high-frequency
energy
radiated through the air from the equipment.
In most cases,
this radiated RFI is insignificant
unless the radio is located
very close to the source of the radiation.
Of more significance
is conducted
RFI which is carried
through
the power lines and affects equipment
attached
to the same power lines. Because the composition
of the
current waveshape
consists of higher frequencies,
a simple
choke placed in series with the load slows down the current rise time and reduces
the amplitude
of the higher
harmonics.
To be effective, however, such a choke must be
quite large. A more effective filter, and one that has been
found
adequate
for most light-dimming
applications
is
shown in Fig. 10. The LC filter provides adequate
attenuation of the high-frequency
harmonics
and reduces the
noise interference
to a low level.

Triacs can be used very effectively

to apply power to
motors and perform such functions as speed control. reversing, full power switching,
or any other desired operating
condition
that can be obtained
by a switching action. Because most motors are I joe-operated,
the triac can be
used as a direct replacement
for electro-mechanical
switches.
In proper control circuits, triacs can change the operating
characteristics
of motors to obtain many different
speed
and torq ue curves.
A very simple triac static switch for control of ac motors
is shown in Fig. II. The low-current
switch controlling
the gate trigger current
can be any type of transducer,
such as a pressure
switch, a thermal
switch, a photocell,
or a magnetic reed relay. This simple type of circuit allows
the motor to be switched
directly
from the transducer
switch without
any intermediate
power switch or relay.
For dc control, the circuit of Fig. 12 can be used. By
use of the dc triggering
modes, the triac can be directly
triggered from transistor
circuits by either a pulse or continuous signal.
T2700D.
Fig. 13 shows a single-time-constant

circuit which can
be used as a satisfactory
proportional
speed control
for
some applications
and with certain
types of induction
motors, such as shaded pole or permanent
split-capacitor
motors, when the load is fixed. This type of circuit is best
suited to applications
which require speed control
in the
medium to full-power
range. It is specifically
useful in applications
such as fans or blower-motor
controls,
where
a small change in motor speed produces a large change in

air velocity. Caution must be exercised if this type of circuit is used with induction
motors because the motor may
stall suddenly if the speed of the motor is reduced below
the drop-out
speed for the specitic operating
condition
determined
by the conduction
angle of the triac. Because
the single-time-constant
circuit cannot provide speed control of an induction
motor load from maximum
power to
full off, but only down to some fraction of the full-power
speed, the effects of hysteresis
described
previously
are
not present. Speed ratios as high as 3: 1 can be obtained
from the single-time-constant
circuit
used with certain
types of induction
motors.
Because motors are basically
inductive
loads and because the triac turns off when the current reduces to zero,
the phase difference
between the applied voltage and the
device current causes the triac to tUTn off when the source
voltage is at a value other than zero. When the triac turns
off, the instantaneous
value of input voltage is applied
directly to the main terminals of the triac. This commutating voltage may have a rate of rise which can retrigger the
triac. The commutating
dv/dt can be limited to the capability of the triac by use of an RC network
across the
device, as shown in Fig. 13. The current

for the circuit are shown in Fig. 14 to illustrate the principle of commutating

can easily occur
because
the triggered
triac remains
in conduction
after
the gate is disconnected
until the current reduces to zero.
In the meantime, the nonconducting-triac
gate circuit can
be energized
so that both triacs are ON and large loop
currents
are set up in the triacs by the discharge
of the

The triac motor-reversing

circuit can be extended
to
electronic
garage-door
systems which use the principle
of
motor reversing
for garage-door
direction
control.
The
system contains a transmitter, a receiver, and an operator
to provide remote control for door opening and closing.
The block diagram in Fig. 16 shows the functions required
for a complete
solid-state
system. When the garage door
is closed, the gate drive to the DOWN triac is disabled by
the lower-limit
closure and the gate drive to the UP triac
is inactive
because
of the state of the flip-flop.
If the
transmitter
is momentarily
keyed, the receiver
activates
the time-delay
monostable
multivibrator
so that it then
changes the flip-flop state and provides
continuous
gate
drive to the UP triac. The door then continues
to travel
in the UP direction
until the upper-limit
switch closure
disables gate drive to the UP triac. A second keying of the
transmitter
provides the DOWN triac with gate drive and
causes the door to travel in the DOWN direction
until the
gate drive is disabled by the lower limit closure. The time
in which the monostable
multivibrator
is active should
override normal transmitter
keying for the purpose of eliminating erroneous
tiring. A feature of this system is that,
during travel, transmitter
keying provides motor reversing
independent
of the upper- or lower-limit
closures.
Additional features, such as obstacle obstructions,
manual control, or time delay for overhead
garage
lights can be
achieved very economically.

thermistor

of the two-transistor
regenerative switch, which, in turn, controls the operation
of the triac. When the temperature
being controlled
is low,
the resistance of the thermistor
is high and the regenerative
switch is OFF. The triac is then triggered directly from the
line on positive half-cycles of the input voltage. When the
triac triggers and applies voltage to the load, the capacitor
is charged

Control
On-off controls have only two levels of power input to

the load. The heating
coils are either energized
to full
power or are at zero power. Because of thermal time constants, on-off controls produce a cyclic action which alternates between

overshoots
and undershoots
with

This disadvantage
is overcome and RFI is minimized
by
use of the concept of integral-cycle
proportional
control
with synchronous
switching.
In this system. a time base is
selected and the on-time of the triac is varied within the
time base. The ratio of the on-to-off
time of the triac
within this time interval depends upon the power required
10 the heating elements
to maintain the desired temperature.
Fig. 19 shows the on-off ratio of the triac. Within
the
time period. the on-time varies hy an integral number of
cycles from full ON to a single cycle of input voltage.
Fig. 20. As the sawlOoth

voltage
increases,
a level is
reached which turns on power to the heating elements. As
the temperature
at the sensor changes, the de level shifts
accordingly
and changes the length of time that the power
is applied to the heating elements
within the established
time.
When the demand for heat is high, the de control signal is high and little power is supplied continuously
to the
heating elements. When the demand for heat is completely
satisfied, the de control
signal is low and nO power is
supplied to the heating elements.
Usually a system using
this principle
operates
continuously
somewhere
between
full ON and full OFF to satisfy the demand for heat.

A New Horizontal-Deflection System Using

RCA S3705M and S3706M Silicon Controlled Rectifiers
This Note describes a highly reliable horizontal-deflection system designed for use in the RCA CTC-40
solid-state color television receiver. This system illustrates a new approach in horizontal-circuit
design that
represents a complete departure from the approaches
currently used in commercial television receivers. The
switching action required to generate the scan current
in the horizontal yoke windings and the high-voltage
pulse used to derive the dc operating voltages for the
picture tube is controlled by two silicon controlled rectifiers (SCR's) that are used in conjunction with associated fast-recovery diodes to form bipolar switches.
The RCA-S370SM SCR used to control the trace current and the RCA-S3706M SCR that provides the commutating
action to initiate trace-retrace
switching
exhibit the high voltage- and current-handling
capabilities, together with the the excellent switching characteristics, required for reliable operation in deflectionsystem applications. The switching diodes, RCA-D2601EF
(trace) and D260 I DF (commutating), provide fast recovery times, high reverse-voltage blocking capabilities,
and low turn-on voltage drops. These features and the
fact that, with the exception of one non-critical triggering pulse, all control voltages, timing, and control polarities are supplied by passive elements within the
system (rather than by external drive sources) contribute substantially to the excellent reliability of the
SCR deflection system.
Fig. 1 shows the circuit configuration of the over-all

horizontal-deflection
system. The system operates di-
rectly from a conventional, unregulated dc power supply of + 155 volts, provides full-screen deflection at
angles up to 90 degrees at full beam current (1.5 milliamperes average in the CTC-40 receiver). The current
and voltage waveforms required for horizontal deflection and for generation of the high voltage are derived
essentially from LC resonant circuit>. As a result, fast
and abrupt switching transients, which would impose
strains on the solid-state devices, are avoided.
A regulator stage is included in the SCR horizontaldeflection circuit to maintain the scan and the high
voltage within acceptable limits with variations in the
ac line voltage or picture-tube
beam current. The
system also contains circuits that provide full protection
against the effects of arcs in the picture tube or the highvoltage rectifier and linearity and pincushion correction
circuits. Each individual part of the deflection system is
designed to specifications that are compatible with
achievement of the following system performance:

The SCR horizontal-deflection

circuit requires fast
reverse recovery for both the switching SCR's and the
diodes and fast turn-on for the SCR's. The S3705M and
S3706M SCR's and the 0260 I EF and D260 I DF diodes are
well suited to provide this type of performance.
(Detailed specifications for the SCR's and diodes are given
in the published data on the devices). The exceptional
capabilities of these devices are illustrated by the performance that they provide in the horizontal-deflection
system. Fig. 2 shows the significant current and voltage
waveforms that the SCR's and diodes are subjected to
during operation of the deflection circuit.
The S3706M SCR used in the commutating switch is
required to pass a pulse of current that has a peak
amplitude of 13 amperes and an initial rate of rise of
20 amperes per microsecond. At the operating frequency of the horizontal-deflection
circuit, achievement
of this performance requires low turn-on dissipation in

NegatIve gate bias is used with
both SCR's to reduce turn-off time. The gate sensitivity of the commutating-switch
SCR is high enough so
that this device can be triggered directly from the
horizontal oscillator.
The exceptional switching performance provided by
the S370SM and S3706M seR's is made possible by use of
all-diffused pellet structures that employ a centrally
located gate having a large gate-cathode periphery to
ensure low initial forward voltage drops and, therefore,
low switching losses. The lifetime of minority charge carriers is substantially reduced to provide the fast turnoff-time capability. The "shorted-emitter"
construction
technique, in which a low-resistance path is provided
around the gate-to-cathode
junction, is used to obtain
the high dv /dt capability required for the SCR's to
withstand the high rates of reapplied forward voltage
encountered in the horizontal-deflection
system.
The D260 I EF and D260 I DF diodes used in the trace and
commutating
switches, respectively, are designed to
provide fast reverse recovery (by means of minoritycarrier lifetime control), to reduce rf interference in the
circuit, and to decrease diode recovery losses. The slope
and magnitude of the reverse-recovery
current in the
diodes have been optimized to ensure minimum reverserecovery dissipation and to prevent rf interference because of overly abrupt recovery. The fast recovery characteristics have been achieved while maintaining a low
turn-on voltage drop and a high reverse-voltage blocking capability.

commutating switch requires the use of an SCR that
can be completely turned off in 4.5 microseconds. The
SCR must then be able to block a reapplied forward
voltage of 100 volts applied at a rate of 400 volts per
microsecond. The turn-off requirement for the traceswitch SCR, under worst-case circuit conditions, is 2.5

the trace-switch diode DT and the trace-switch controlled rectifier SCRT provide the switching action
which controls the current in the horizontal yoke windings Ly during the picture-tube
beam-trace interval.
The commutating-switch
diode Dc and the commutating-switch controlled rectifier SCRc initiate retrace and
control the yoke current during the retrace interval.
Inductor Ln and capacitors, Cn, CA, and Cy provide the
necessary energy storage and timing cycles. Inductor
Lec supplies a charge path for capacitor Cn from the dc
supply voltage (B +) so that the system can be recharged from the receiver power supply. The secondary
of inductor Lee, provides the gate trigger voltage for
the trace-switch SCR. Capacitor Cn establishes the
optimum retrace time by virtue of its resonant action
with inductor Ln.
The complete horizontal-deflection
cycle may best be
described as a sequence of discrete intervals, each terminated by a change in the conduction state of a
switching device. In the following discussion, the action
of the auxiliary capacitor CA and the flyback highvoltage transformer are initially neglected to simplify
the explanation.
Fig. 4 shows the circuit elements involved and the

voltage and current relationships during the first half of
the trace deflection-current

interval, the period from
To to T 2' At time To, the magnetic field has been established about the horizontal yoke windings Ly by the
circuit action during the retrace period of the preceding
cycle (explained in the subsequent discussion of retrace
intervals).
This magnetic field generates a decaying
yoke current iy that decreases to zero when the energy
in the yoke winding is depleted (at time T2). This
current charges capacitor C,. to a positive voltage V cy
through the trace-switch diode DT
During the first half of the trace interval (just prior
to time T 2) the trace controlled rectifier SCRT is
made ready to conduct by application of an appropriate
gate voltage pulse VOATE' SCRT does not conduct, however, until a forward bias is also applied between its
anode and cathode. This voltage is applied during the
second half of the trace interval.
At time T2, current is no longer maintained by

the yoke inductance,
and capacitor
C,. begins to
discharge into this inductance. The direction of the
current in the circuit is then reversed, and the traceswitch diode DT becomes reverse-biased.
The traceswitch controlled rectifier SCRT, however, is then forward-biased by the voltage V Cy across the capacitor,
and the capacitor discharges into the yoke inductance
through SCRT, as indicated in Fig. 5. The capacitor Cy

and the complete scan-current waveform.
is sufficiently large so that the voltage V Cy remains

essentially constant during the entire trace and retrace
cycle. This constant voltage results in a linear rise in

current through the yoke inductance Ly over the entire
scan interval from Toto T 5'
The circuit action to initiate retrace starts before the

trace interval is completed. Fig. 6 shows the circuit
elements and the voltage and current waveforms required for this action. At time T 3, prior to the end of
cess current in the commutating pulse is tben bypassed

around the yoke winding by the shunting action of
diode DT. During the time from T 4 to T 5, the traceswitch controlled rectifier SCRT is reverse-biased by the
amount of the voltage drop across diode DT The traceswitch controlled rectifier, therefore, is turned off during this interval and is allowed to recover its ability to
block the forward voltage that is subsequently applied.
At time T5, the commutating

pulse is no longer
greater than the yoke current, as shown in Fig. 7;
trace-switch diode DT then ceases to conduct. The yoke
inductance maintains the yoke current but, with SCRT
in the OFF state, this current now flows in the commutating loop formed by LR, CR, and SCR:,. Time T 5 is
the beginning of retrace.
As the current in the yoke windings decreases to
zero, the energy supplied by this current charges capacitor CR with an opposite-polarity
voltage in a
resonant oscillation. At time T6, the yoke current is
zero, and capacitor CR is charged to its maximum negative voltage value. This action completes the first half
of retrace.

is then allowed to discharge through SCR:, and inductor LR. The current in this loop, referred to as the
commutating circuit, builds up in the form of a halfsine-wave pulse. At time T4, when the magnitude of
this current pulse exceeds the yoke current, the traceswitch diode DT again becomes forward-biased. The ex-

At time T G, the energy in the yoke inductance is

switch controlled rectifier SCRe is reverse-biased by the

amount of the voltage drop across diode Dc. The
commutating-switch
controlled rectifier, therefore, turns
off and recovers its voltage-blocking capability. As the
yoke current builds up in the negative direction, the
voltage on the retrace capacitor Cn is decreased. At
time To, the voltage across capacitor Cn no longer
provides a driving voltage for the yoke current to flow
in the loop formed by Ln, Cn, and Ly The yoke current finds an easier path up through trace-switch diode
DT, as shown in Fig. 9. This action represents the
beginning of the trace period for the yoke current
(i.e., the start of a new cycle of operation),
time To.
Once the negative yoke current is decoupled from
the commutating loop by the trace-switch diode, the
current in the commutating circuit decays to zero. The
stored energy in the inductor Ln charges capacitor Cn
to an initial value of positive voltage. Because the resonant frequency of Ln and Cn is high, this transfer is
during
trace, time To.

The actions required to restore energy to the commutating circuit and to reset the trace SCR are also
very important considerations in the operation of the
basic deflection circuit. Both actions involve the inductor Lee.
During the retrace period, inductor Lee is connected
between the dc supply voltage (B +) and ground by
the conduction of either the commutating-switch
SCR
or diode (SCRe or Dc),
as indicated in Fig. 10.
When the diode and the SCR cease to conduct, however, the path from Lee to ground is opened. The
energy stored in inductor Lee during the retrace interval
then charges capacitor Cn through the B + supply, as
shown in Fig. 1 I. This charging process continues
through the trace period until retrace is again initiated.
The resultant charge on capacitor Cn is used to resupply energy to the yoke circuit during the retrace
interval.
The voltage developed across inductor Lee during
the charging of capacitor Cn is used to forward-bias the
gate electrode of the trace SCR properly so that this

device is made ready to conduct. This voltage is inductively coupled from 4Jc and applied to the gate of
SCRr through to a wave-shaping network formed by
inductor 4, capacitor CG, and resistor RG The resulting voltage signal applied to the gate of SCRT has the
desired shape and amplitude so that SCRT conducts
when a forward bias is applied from anode to cathode,
approximately midway through the trace interval.

Fig. 12 - Circuit configuration showing the addition of
auxiliary capacitor CA and current and voltage
waveforms showing the eOect of this capacitor.
In the preceding discussions of the operation of the

deflection circuit, the effect of capacitor CA was neglected. Inclusion of this capacitor affects some of the
circuit waveforms, as shown in Fig. 12, aids in the
turn-off of the trace SCR, reduces the retrace time,
and provides additional energy-storage
capability for
the circuit.
During most of the trace interval ( from To to T.),
including the interval (T 3 to T 4) during which the
commutating pulse occurs, the trace switch is closed,
and capacitor CA is in parallel with the retrace capacitor CR. From the start of retrace at time T 4 to the
beginning of the next trace interval at time To, the trace
switch is open. For this condition, capacitor CA is in
series with the yoke L, and the retrace capacitor CR so
that the capacitance in the retrace circuit is effectively
decreased. As a result, the resonant frequency of the
retrace is increased, and the retrace time is reduced.
The auxiliary capacitor CA is also in parallel with the
retrace inductor LR. The waveshapes in the deflection
circuit are also affected by the resultant higher-frequency resonant discharge around this loop. The voltage and current waveforms shown in Fig. 12 illustrate
the effects of the capacitor CA'
The SCR horizontal-deflection

system in the RCA
CTC-40 receiver generates the high voltage for the
picture tube in essentially the same manner as has been
used for many years in other commercial television receivers, i.e., by transformation of the horizontal-deflection retrace (f1yback) pulse to a high voltage with a
voltage step-up transformer and subsequent rectification
of this stepped-up voltage. The RCA-3CZ3 electron
tube is used as the high-voltage rectifier in the RCA
CTC-40 television receiver.
Fig. 13 shows a schematic of the over-all highvoltage circuit, and Fig. 14 shows a simplified schematic of this circuit together with the significant voltage
and current waveforms. The high-voltage transformer
is connected across the yoke and retrace capacitor. The
inductance and capacitance of this transformer are such
that it presents a load tuned to about the third harmonic of the retrace resonant frequency. The presence
of this load adds harmonic components to the waveforms previously described.

output trace circuit. As stated previously, the trace

circuit is supplied by energy which is stored primarily
on the com mutating capacitor CR' This capacitor is
charged during the trace interval through inductance
Lee.
Control of the high-voltage energy on the commutating capacitor is made possible by the design of inductor Lee so that it approaches resonance with capacitor Cn; the degree of this resonance can be varied
by the high-voltage regulator circuit.
Fig. 15 illustrates the effect of this resonant action
on the charge on the commutating capacitor. The waveshape that results from the resonant action determines
the amount of charge that will be on the capacitor when
its energy is released into the trace circuit.
The resonance of the inductor Ler and the commutating capacitor Cn is varied by use of a saturable
reactor Lsn to control the inductance across L('r. The
saturable-reactor
load winding is placed in parallel with
Lee. Changes in the current through the reactor control
windings varies the total inductance of the input circuit.
The current in the reactor load winding is controlled
by the pulse regulator circuit.
The control current for the reactor control winding is
determined by the conduction of the high-voltage regulator transistor Q". The collector current of this transistor is in turn controlled by the voltage across the
yoke-return capacitor C. This voltage, which is directly
proportional
to high voltage and which tracks any
changes in the high voltage, is sampled by the highvoltage adjustment control and compared to a reference voltage determined by a Zener diode. The resulting difference voltage, which is indicative of changes in
the high voltage, controls the conduction of the regulator transistor.
As the high-voltage load (beam current) decreases,
the high voltage tends to increase. The voltage across
the yoke-return capacitor then tends to increase. This
action results in an instantaneously higher current pulse
through the base-emitter junction of the regulator transistor. The reactor control current, therefore, tends to
increase proportionally, so that the total inductance of
the input circuit is decreased. The resulting change in
resonance of Lee, L,n, and Cn reduces the charge on
CR and the energy made available to the trace circuit.
In this way, the high voltage is stabilized. The reverse
action, of course, occurs if the high voltage tends to
decrease.
Diode DIm acts as an energy-recovery diode which
improves the efficiency of the control circuit. The regulator transistor actually conducts only for a very short
time, and the majority of the control current is supplied
by diode conduction. This high-voltage regulating system also maintains the high voltage within acceptable
limits for variations in the ac line voltage over the
range from 105 to 130 volts.

These components dampen the high ringing current that

may occur as a result of high-voltage arcing. This current is mainly dissipated in the resistor Ro; The principal purpose of the shunting diode is to allow the
normal initial flyback current to flow unimpeded so that
the high voltage is not decreased by the dampening
action of the resistor.
The other protection circuit consists of a diode
(DcL), a capacitor (CCL) connected between the diode
cathode and ground, and a resistor ReL from the diode
cathode to the B + supply v.oltage. The anode of the
diode is connected to the ungrounded end of the primary of the high-voltage transformer. The diode conducts during the peak of the retrace voltage pulse that
appears across the primary of the high-voltage transformer and charges the capacitor to this voltage. The
resistor provides a high-resistance
discharge path for
the capacitor and allows the voltage across the capacitor to be reduced just enough to keep the diode reverse-biased during the retrace interval. When a sharp
voltage pulse is produced because of high-voltage arcing, the diode conducts so that the trace switch is
clamped to the voltage across the capacitor. The arc
pulse voltage, therefore, is not allowed to exceed the
breakdown voltage of the trace-switch components.

Two circuits are included in the SCR deflection

system to protect the trace-switch SCR and diode from
high voltages and currents that may result because of
arcing from the high-voltage rectifier or the picture
tube. These circuits are shown in Fig. 16.
One circuit includes the parallel combination of a
diode (Do) and a 4.7-ohm resistor (Ro) connected in
series with the primary of the high-voltage transformer.

Two means are provided in the SCR horizontaldeflection system to correct for nonlinearities
in the
horizontal scanning current that may result because of
voltage drops across the inherent resistance in the trace
circuit. Voltage drops across the resistance of the traceswitch SCR and diode are held to a minimum by
operation of the trace diode at a more negative voltage
than the trace SCR. This condition is achieved by connection of the trace diode one turn higher (more
negative) on the high-voltage transformer
than the
SCR.
Fig. 17 illustrates another technique used to correct
for nonlinearity in the scanning current. This technique
uses a damped series resonant circuit (LLIN' CLIN, and

RLI,,) , connected between a winding on the highvoltage transformer
and the ungrounded side of the
yoke-return capacitor C" to produce a damped sine
wave of current that effectively adds to and subtracts
from the charge on the yoke-return capacitor Cy The
resulting alteration in yoke current corrects for any
trace-current nonlinearities.
ADVANTAGES
DEFLECTION
OF THE SCR HORIZONTALSYSTEM
It is apparent from the preceding discussions that

the SCR horizontal-deflection system offers a number of
distinct advantages over the conventional types of systems currently used in commercial television receivers.
The following list outlines some of the more significant
circuit features of the SCR deflection system and points
out the advantage derived from each of them:
voltage and current waveforms, and timing cycles are determined by passive components
in response to the action of two SCR-diode
switches. The stability of the system, therefore, is
determined primarily by the passive components.
When the passive components are properly adjusted, the system exhibits highly predictable performance characteristics and exceptional operational dependability.
2.
The only input drive signal required for the SCR

deflection system is a low-power pulse which has
no stringent accuracy specification in relation to
either amplitude or time duration. The deflection
system, therefore, can be driven directly from a
pulse developed by the horizontal oscillator.
3. This deflection system is unique in that, although

it operates from a conventional B + supply of
+ 155 volts, the flyback pulse is less than 500
volts. This level of voltage stress is substantially
less than that in conventional line-operated systems, and this factor contributes to improved
reliability of the switching devices.
4.
Regulation in the SCR deflection systelil is accomplished by control of the energy stored by a
reactive element. This technique avoids the use
of resistive-load regulating elements required by
many other types of systems and, therefore,
makes possible higher over-all system efficiency
and reduces input-power requirements.
5.
All switching occurs at the zero current level

through the reverse recovery of high-voltage p-n
junctions in the deflection diodes. The diode junctions are not limited in volt-ampere switching
capabilities for either normal or abnormal conditions in the circuit.

AC Voltage Regulators
Using Thyristors
This Note describes a basic ac-voltage regulating

technique using thyristors that prevents ac rms or de
voltage from fluctuating more than 3 per cent in spite
of wide variations in input line voltage.
Load voltage
can also be held within 3 per cent of a desired value
des pite variations in load impedance through the use of
a voltage-feedback
technique.
The voltage regulator
described can be used in photocopying machines, light
dimmers, de power supplies, and motor controllers (to
maintain fixed speed under fixed load conditions).
Circuit Opera:ion
The schematic diagram of the ac regulator is shown

in Fig.l.
For simplicity, only a half-wave SCR configuration is shown; however, the explanation of circuit
operation is easily extended to include a full-wave regulator that uses a triac.
The trigger device Ql used in Fig.l, a diac such
as the RCA-D3202U, is an all-diffused three-layer trigger
diode. This diac exhibits a high-impedance, low-Ieakagecurrent characteristic
until the applied voltage reaches
ELINE.
the breakover voltage VBO, approximately 35 volts.

Above this voltage, the device exhibits a negative res istance so that voltage decreases as current increases.
Capacitor C1 in Fig.l is charged from a constantvoltage source established
by zener diode Zl'
The
capacitor is charged, therefore, at an exponential rate
regardless of line-voltage fluctuations.
A trigger pulse
is delivered to the 2N3228 SCR, Q2, when the voltage
across capacitor Cl is equal to the trigger voltage of
diac Ql plus the instantaneous voltage drop developed
across R4 during the positive half-eycle of line voltage.
When Ql is turned on, Q2 is turned on for the remainder
of the positive cycle of source voltage. Control of the
conduction angle of the SCR regulates rms voltage to
the load.
Regulation is achieved by the following means:
When line voltage increases,
the voltage across ~
increases, but the charging rate of Cl remains the saTile;
as a res ult, the voltage across Cl must attain a larger
value than required without line-voltage increase before
diac Ql can be triggered.
The net effect is that the
pulse that triggers Q2 is delayed and the rms voltage
to the load is reduced.
In a similar manner, as line
voltage is reduced, Q2 turns on earlier in the cycle and
increases the effective voltage across the load.
Fig.2 shows the voltage waveforms exhibited by the
ac regulator at both high and low line voltage.
The
charging voltage for capacitor Cl, El' is equal to the
zener voltage and remains constant up to the instant
that the SCR is turned on. The capacitor voltage, VCl.
increases exponentially because the charging voltage
El is constant. The voltage across resistor R4 conforms

REGULATION
Fig.3 shows a basic regulating technique for applications in which it is desired to maintain constant voltage across a load such as a receiving-tube heater, the
filament of an incandescent lamp, or possibly a space
heater.
It should be noted that this configuration is
actually a half-wave regulator. However, the circuit of
Fig.3 differs from the circuit of Fig.l, in which one
half-eycle is blocked from the load and the other halfcycle is phase-controlled
to provide regulation.
In
Fig.3, essentially full voltage is applied to the load
for one half-cycle by means of D4; the other half-eycle
is phase-eontrolled
by the SCR to provide regulation.

by the ac regulator
to the sinusoidal variations of the 6o-Hz line voltage.

At any given phase angle, the voltage across R4 increases
if line voltage increases and decreases if line voltage
decreases.
The diac and SCR both trigger when the capacitor
voltage, VC1' equals the breakdown voltage of the diac
plu~ the instantaneous value of voltage developed across
~ during the positive half-eycle of line voltage. This
capacitor voltage is represented by points A and B for
the low and high line-voltage conditions, respectively.
The instantaneous
voltages across ~ just before the
SCR is triggered are represen.ed by points C and D for
the low and high line-voltage conditions, respectively.
The voltage difference between points A and C and
between points Band D is equal to the breakdown voltage of the diac.
Fig.2 illustrates
that the conduction time of the
SCR is decreased as line voltage increases,
and is
increased when the line voltage decreases.
By proper
selection of the values of the voltage-divider-ratio resistors R3 and R4, it is possible to prevent the load
',oltage from varying more than 3 per cent with a 3O-percent (approximate) change in line voltage.
It should be mentioned that during measurements
of load voltage careful consideration must be given to
the measuring instruments. Most of the circuits described
in this Note produce a non-sinusoidal voltage across the
load; the rms value of this voltage can be measured
only with a true rms meter, slh as a thermocouple
meter.
It is possible, however, that in certain applications the low input impedance of the thermocouple
meter might load down the circuit being measured.
In
such cases, a high-input-impedance rms meter may be
required.

Phase-eontrolled
voltage regulation is
provided by a silicon unilateral switch Ql * and a control
circuit, as follows: Capacitor C2 is charged from a voltage source that is maintained constant by zene:' diode
Zl; diodes Dl' D2' and D3 compensate for the change
in zener voitage with temperature.
The voltage across
C2 increases until the sum of the breakover vo1tage of
Ql and the instantaneous voltage across R5 is exceeded.
At this point, a positive pulse is coupled into the gate
of Q2 by means of the pulse transformer Tl'
The SCR
Q2 then switches on for the remainder of the positive
cycle of line voltage.
Control of the conduction angle
of the SCR varies rms voltage to the heater.
A silicon unilateral switch is a silicon, planar. monolithic

integrated circuit that has thyristor electrical characteristics
closely approximating those of an ideal four-layer diode. The
device shown switches at approximately 8 volts.
As line voltage increases, the voltage across R5

also increases;
because C2 charges along the same
exponential curve, however, the voltage across C2 must
attain a larger value before Q2 is turned on. The net
effect is a delay in the trigger pulse and reduced rms
voltage across the heater. In a similar manner, as line
voltage is reduced, the SCR turns on earlier in the cycle
and increases the effective voltage across the heater.
By proper adjustment of potentiometer Flu in conjunction
with potentiometer R4, it is possible to obtain excellent
heater-voltage compensation over a range of line voltages. Fig.4 shows the waveforms associated with the
heater-regulator circuit.

circuit as an ac voltage regulator with closed-loop
feedback control.
The closed-loop regulator produces
less error, is more resistant to the drift effects of components, and is easier to adj ust than the open-loop
regulator.
The lamp used in the closed-loop regulator is rated
at 6 volts, but the series resistor limits the voltage to
approximately 2 volts so that extremely long lamp life
can be expected. An additional advantage at low voltage
is that the light intensity varies linearly with the voltage
across the lamp so that a small increase in voltage
increases brightness markedly; near rated voltage the
intensity does not vary linearly and the variation in
brightness is not very apparent.
A loss in sensitivity
would result if the lamp were operated at its rated
voltage.
The open-loop regulator can regulate 6 volts to
within 3 per cent within a temperature range from
10 to 400C with an input-voltage swing of 10 per cent.
The closed-loop regulator can regulate 6 volts to within
2 per cent within a temperature range from 0 to 600C
with an input-voltage swing of 10 per cent.

Curve A in Fig.5 shows heater voltage as a function

in Fig.3. Curve B in Fig.5 shows a similar curve for a
closed-loop regulator using a lamp-photocell module.
The lamp, in series with a limiting resistor, is connected
across the heater terminals, and the photocell replaces
R6. The lamp unit senses the phase-controlled
true
rms heater voltage.
Changes in lamp brightness produced by heater-voltage variations change the photocell
resistance in reverse proportion to the lamp voltage. The
remainder of the circuit functions as previously described
except that regulation is obtained not only through the
monitoring of the instantaneous magnitude of line voltage,
but also through the sensing of the true rms voltage
across the heater.

Light-dimmer circuits are becomingly increasingly

popular for home use.
Fig.6 shows a typical lightdimmer configuration.
This circuit provides the advantages of low hysteresis and continuous control up to
the maximum conduction angle.
At low illumination
levels, however, the variable resistor Rp is adjusted to

a high resistance setting.
If a momentary drop in line
voltage occurs at this condition, the high breakover
voltage of the diac in conjunction with the high resistance coold result in a circuit misfire; i.e., the light
could be extinguished and remain so until the circuit
is reset by readjustment of the control to a high illumination setting.
A natural successor to the circuit of Fig.6 might
consist of a configuration which not only provides the
light-dimming function but also extends the life of the
lamp being controlled.
One of the major causes of reduced lamp life can be directly attributed to line-voltage
fluctuations and in particular to periods of over-voltage.

is subjected to voltages of 120 volts plus 3 per cent and

minus 10 per cent. The - lQ-per-eent line dip has little
effect on lamp-life reduction.
The circuit also regulates lamp voltage for various
settings of potentiometer Rp. Fig.8 shows line voltage
as a function of lamp voltage for two settings of Rp for
the circuits of Figs.6 and 7. These curves illustrate the
increased regulation achieved by the improved circuit.

two values of Rp in the circuits of Figs.6 and 7.
The dimmer configuration of Fig.7 can also be used
as a 12Q-volt full-wave heater regulator.
In this application the light is replaced by a heater load. If the load
can be operated at a nominal 100 volts with an input
voltage of 120 volts. more symmetrical regulation can be
realized; i.e., 3 per cent regulation can be achieved
with a line variation of 10 per cent. In the full-wave
heater-regulator application, diodes 01' 02' and resistor
R in Fig.7 can be eliminated because a wide conduction
angle is not required.
Such a control might also be used in colorimetry, an
application in which it is necessary to match the color
(and temperature) of a lamp with a standard; in this application line-voltage fluctuations can create a measurement error. Other areas of application, such as photography, heater control, and hot-plate and solder-pot control, can also make effective use of the dimmer circuit
with over-voltage clamp.

A line-voltage tl'ansformer is employed to step-down the

supply voltage of 120 volts rms to approximately 12.5
volts rms. If a dc output voltage greater than 10 volts
is desired, a transformer with a lower primary-to-secondary turns ratio should be employed.
The heart of the regulator shown in Fig.9 is the
phase-controlled
triac on the primary side of the line
transformer.
Because the load presented to the triac is
somewhat inductive, an RC network is liSed to assure

If increased line, temperature, and load conpensation is desired in the regulated dc supply of Fig.9, a
closed-loop type of control can be obtained by use of a
photocell in place of RF and connection of a lamp across
the output terminals of the supply in such a way that the
light from the lamp can impinge on the photocell surface.

Handling and Mounting of

ReA Molded Plastic
Transistors and Thyristors
RCA power transistors and thyristors (SCR's and triacs) in
molded -silicone-plastic packages are available in a wide range
of power-dissipation ratings and a variety of package configurations. This Note provides detailed guidelines for
handling and .mounting of these plastic-package devices, and
shows different types of packages and suggested mounting
hardware to accommodate various mounting arrangements.
Recommendations are made for handling of the packages
during the forming of le"ds to meet specific mounting
requirements. Various mounting arrangements, thermal considerations, and cleaning methods are described. This information is intended to augment the data on electrical
characteristics,
safe operating
area, and performance
capabilities in the technical bulletin for each type of
plastic-package transistor or thyristor. (Data on mechanical
and environmental
capabilities of RCA plastic-package
transistors are also available in a periodically updated
Reliability Report, RCA Publication No. HBT-600.)
of thyristors supplied in TO-220AA packages, however,

differs from that of thyristors supplied in conventional
T0-66 packages so that some hardware changes are required
to effect a replacement. The TO-220AA Versawatt package is
also supplied with an integral heat sink. Fig. 4 shows the
dimensional outline for this heat sink. The use of the integral
heat sink reduces the junction-to-air thermal resistance of the
package from 700C per watt to 350C per watt.
The RCA molded-plastic high-power packages are also
supplied in several configurations for flexibility of application. The JEDEC Type TO-219AB, shown in Fig. 5, is the
basic high-power plastic package. Fig. 6 shows a JEDEC Type
TO-219AA version of the high-power plastic package.

Two basic types of molded-plastic packages are used for RCA

solid-state power devices. These types include the RCA
Versawatt packages for medium-power applications and the
RCA high-power plastic packages, both of which are
specifically designed for ease of use in many applications.
Each basic type offers several different package options, and
the user can select the configuration best suited to his
particular application.
Figs. I through 3 show the options currently available for
devices in RCA Versa watt packages. The JEDEC Type
TO-220AB in-line-lead version, shown in Fig. I, represents
the basic style. This configuration features leads that can be
formed to meet a variety of specific mounting requirements.
Fig. 2 shows a package configuration that allows a Versawatt
package to be mounted on a printed-circuit board with a
O.lOO-inch grid and a minimum lead spacing of 0.200 inch.
Fig. 3 shows a JEDEC Type TO-220AA version of the
Versawatt package. The dimensions of this type of transistor
package are such that it can replace the JEDEC T0-66
transistor package in a commercial socket or printed-circuit
board without retooling. The pin-connection

use of a properly designed fixture for this operation

eliminates the need for repeated lead bending. When the use
of a special bending fixture is not practical, a pair of
longnosed pliers may be used. The pliers should hold the
lead firmly between the bending point and the case, but
should not touch the case. Fig. 8 illustrates the use of
long-nosed pliers for lead bending. Fig. 8(a) shows techniques
that should be avoided; Fig. 8(b) shows the correct method.
The RCA highpower plastic package is also available with an

attached headercase lead, as shown in Fig. 7. This three-lead
package is designed for mounting on a printedcircuit board.

TECHililQUES
RCA Versawatt plastic packages are both rugged and versatile

within the confines of commonly accepted standards for
such devices. Although these versatile packages lend themselves to numerous arrangements, provision of a wide variety
of lead configurations to conform to the specific require
men"ts of many different mounting arrangements is highly
impractical. However, the leads of the Versawatt in-line
package can be formed to a custom shape, provided that they
are not indiscriminately twisted or bent. Although these
leads can be formed, they are not flexible in the general
sense, nor are they sufficiently rigid for unrestrained wire
wrapping.
Before an attempt is made to form the leads of an in-line
package to meet the requirements of a specific application,
the desired lead configuration should be determined, and a
lead-bending fixture should be designed and constructed. The

lead bending:
(a)
When the leads of an in-line plastic package are to be formed,

whether by use of longnosed pliers or a special bending
fixture, the following precautions must be observed to avoid
internal damage to the device:
I.
Restrain the lead between the bending point and

the plastic case to prevent relative movement
between the lead and the case.
2.
When the bend is made in the plane of the lead

(spreading), bend only the narrow part of the lead.
When the bend is made in the plane perpendicular
to that of the leads, make the bend at least 1/8
inch from the plastic case.
Do not use a lead-bend radius of less than 1/16
inch.
Avoid repeated bending of leads.
3.
4.
5.
The leads of the TO-220AB Versawatt in-line package are not

designed to withstand. excessive axial pull. Force in this
direction greater than 4 pounds may result in permanent
damage to the device. If the mounting arrangement tends to
impose axial stress on the leads, some method of strain relief
should be devised. Fig. 2 illustrates an acceptable leadforming method that proVides this relief.
Wire wrapping of the leads is permissible, provided that the
lead is restrained between the plastic case and the point of
the wrapping. Soldering to the leads is also allowed; the
maximum soldering temperature, h<Jwever, must not exceed
2750C and must be applied for not more than 5 seconds at a
distance greater than 1/8 inch from the plastic case. When
wires are used for connections, care should be exercised to
assure that movement of the wire does not cause movement
of the lead at the lead-to-plastic junctions.
The leads of the RCA molded-plastic high-power packages

are not designed to be reshaped. Simple bending of the leads,
however, is permitted to change them from a standard
vertical to a standard horizontal configuration, or conversely.
Bending of the leads in this manner is restricted to three
90-degree bends; repeated bendings, therefore, shauld be
avoided.

and (b) methods of mounting in-line-lead types; (c) chassis
mounting; (d) mounting on printed-eircuit boards.
Fig. 9 shows recommended mounting arrangements and

suggested hardware for the Versawatt transistors. The rectangular washer (NR23IA) shown in Fig. 9(a) is designed to
minimize distortion of the mounting flange when the
transistor is fastened to a heat sink. Excessive distortion of
the flange could cause damage to the transistor. The washer is
particularly important when the size of the mounting hole
exceeds 0.140 inch (6-32 clearance).l.arger holes are needed
to accommodate insulating bushings; however, the holes
should not be larger than necessary to provide hardware
clearance and, in any case, should not exceed a diameter of
0.250 inch. Flange distortion is also. possible if excessive
torque is used during mounting. A maximum torque of 8
inch-pounds is specified. Care should be exercised to assure
that the tool used to drive the mounting screw never comes
in contact with the plastic body during the driving operation.
Such contact can result in damage to the plastic body and
internal device connections. An excellent method of avoiding
this problem is to use a spacer or combination spacerisolating bushing which raises the screw head or nut above
the top surface of the plastic body, as shown in Fig. 10. The
material used for such a spacer or spacer-isolating bushing
should, of course, be carefully selected to avoid "cold flow"
and consequent reduction in mounting force. Suggested
materials for these bushings are diallphthalate, fiberglassfilled nylon, or fiberglass-filled polycarbonate. Unfilled nylon
should be avoided.
Fig. II shows the recommended hardware and mounting

arrangements for RCA high-power molded-plastic transistors.
These types can be mounted directly in a socket similar to
that shown in Fig. II (b). The precautions listed for the
Versawatt packages should also be followed in the mounting
of the high-power molded-plastic packages.

Modification of the flange can also result in flange distortion

and should not be attempted. The transistor should not be
soldered to the heat sink by use of lead-tin solder because the
heat required with this type of solder will cause the junction
temperature of the transistor to become excessive.
The TO-220AA plastic transistor can be mounted in
commercially available T0-66 sockets, such as UID Electronics Corp. Socket No. PTS4 or equivalent. For testing
purposes, the TO-220AB in-line package can be mounted in a
Jetron Socket No. CD74-104 or equivalent. Regardless of the
mounting method, the following precautions should be
taken:
I.
Use appropriate hardware.
2.
Always fasten the transistor to the heat sink before

the leads are soldered to fixed terminals.
3.
Never allow the mounting tool to come in contact

with the plastic case.
4.
Never exceed a torque of 8 inch-pounds.
5.
Avoid oversize mounting holes.
6.
Provide strain relief if there is any probability that

axial stress will be applied to the leads.
7.
Use insulating bushings to prevent hot-creep

problems. Such bushings should be made of
diallphthalate, fiberglass-filled nylon, or fiberglassfilled polycarbonate.
Fig. 10 - Mounting arrangements in which an isolating

bushing is used to raise the head of the mounting screw
above the plastic body of the Versawatt transistor.
The maximum allowable power dissipation in a solid-state

device is limited by its junction temperature. An important
factor to assure that the junction temperature remains below
the specified maximum value is the ability of the associated
thermal circuit to conduct heat away from the device.
When a solid-state device is operated in free air, without a
heat sink, the steady-state thermal circuit is defined by the
junction-to-free-air thermal resistance given in the published
data on the device. Thermal considerations require that
there be a free flow of air around the d'evice and that the
power dissipation be maintained below that which would
cause the junction temperature to rise above the maximum
rating. When the device is mounted on a heat sink, however,
care must be taken to assure that all portions of the thermal
circuit are considered.

Fig. 12 shows the thermal circuit for a heat-sink-mounted

transistor. This figure shows that the junction-to-ambient
thermal circuit includes three series thermal-resistance components, i.e., junction-to-case, IJJ-C; case-to-heat-sink,lJc_s;
and heat-sink-to-ambient,1J S-A. The junction-to-case thermal
resistance of the various transistor types is given in the
individual technical bulletins on specific types. The heatsink-to-ambient thermal resistance can be determined from
the technical data provided by the heat-sink manufacturer, or
from published heat-sink nomographs. The case-to-heat-sink
thermal resistance depends on several factors, which include
the condition of .the heat-sink surface, the type of material
and thickness of the insulator, the type of thermal compound, the mounting torque, and the diameter of the
mounting hole in the heat-sink_

Operation of the transistor with heat-sink temperatures of

1000C or greater results in some shrinkage of the insulating
bushing normally used to mount power transistors. The
degradation of con tact thermal resistance (refer to Figs. 13
and 14) is usually less than 25 per cent if a good thermal
compound is used. (A more detailed discussion of thermal
resistance, including nomographs, can be found in the RCA
Solid State Power Circuits, Technical Series SP-52.)
During the mounting of RCA molded-plastic solid-state
power devices, the following special precautions should be
taken to assure efficient heat transfer from case to heat sink:
I.
Mounting torque
inch-pounds.
2.
The mounting holes should be kept as small as

possible.
3.
Holes should be drilled or punched clean with no

burrs or ridges, and chamfered to a maximum
radius of 0.010 inch.
4.
The mounting surface should be flat within 0.002

inch/inch.
5.
Thermal grease (Dow Corning 340 or equivalent)

should always be used (on both sides of the
insulating washer if one is employed).
6.
Thin insulating washers should be used (thickness

of factory-supplied mica washers ranges from 2 to 4
mils).
7.
A lock washer or torque washer should be used,

together with materials that have sufficient creep
strength to prevent degradation of heat-sink
efficiency during life.

A wide variety of solvents is available for degreasing and flux

removal. The usual practice is to submerge components in a
solvent bath for a specified time. From a reliability standpoint, however, it is extremely important that the solvent,
together with other chemicals in the solder-deaning system
(such as flux and solder covers), not adversely affect the life
of the component. This consideration applies to all nonhermetic and molded-plastic components.
It is, of course, impractical to evaluate the effect on
long-term transistor life of all cleaning solvents, which are
marketed under a variety of brand names with numerous
additives. These solvents can, however, be classified with
respect to their component parts, as either acceptable or
unacceptable_ Chlorinated solvents tend to dissolv-:lthe outer
package and, therefore, make operation in a humid atmosphere unreliable. Gasoline and other hydrocarbons cause the
inner encapsulant to swell and damage the transistor. Alcohol
and unchlorinated freons are acceptable solvents_ Examples
of such solvents are:
Alpha Reliaros No. 320-33

Alpha Reliaros No. 346
Alpha Reliaros No. 711
Alpha Reliafoam No. 807
Alpha Reliafoam No. 809
Alcohol (isopropanol, methanol, and special
denatured alcohols, such as SDAI,
SDA30,
SDA34, and SDA44)
Alpha Reliafoam No. 811-13

Alpha Reliafoam No. 815-35
Care must also be used in the selection of fluxes in the

soldering of leads. Rosin or activated rosin fluxes are
recommended, while organic or acid fluxes are not. Examples of acceptable fluxes are:
If the completed assembly is to be encapsulated, the effect

on the molded-plastic transistor must be studied from both a
chemical and a physical standpoint.

Fig. 3 illustrates the effects on latching and holding current

for resistive termination at the base of the n-p-n transistor. The collector curren t through the p-n-p transistor must
be increased to supply both the base current for the n-p-n
transistor and the shunt current through the terminating
resistor. Because the principal-current flow must be increased
to supply this increased collector current, latching and
holding current requirements also increase. The usc of the
two-transistor model provides a more concise mcaning to the
mechanics of thyristors. In thyristor fabrication, it is
generally good practice to use a low-beta p-n-p unit and to
include internal resistance termination for the base of the
n-p-n unit. Termination of the n-p-n unit provides immunity
from "false" (non-gated) turn-on. and the use of the low-beta
p-n-p units permits a wider base region to be used to support
the high voltage encountered in thyristor applications.

Theoretically, the model shown in Fig. 2 remains in the ON

state until the principal current flow is reduced to zero.
Actually, turn-off occurs at some value of current greater
than zero. This effect can be explained by observation of the
division of currents as the value of the limiting resistor is
gradually increased. As the principal current is gradually
reduced to the zero current level, the division of currents
within the model can no longer sustain the required
regeneration and the model reverts to the blocking state.
The two-transistor model illustrates three features of thyristors: (I) a gate trigger current is required to initiate
regeneration, (2) a minimum principal current (referred to as
"latching current") must be available to sustain regeneration,
and (3) reduction of principal-current flow results in turn-off
at some level of current flow (referred to as "holding
current") slightly greater than zero.

electrical path.
Fig.3 - Two-transistor model of SCR with resistive termination of the n-p-n transistor base.
Voltage and Temperature Ratings

The effects of temperature and voltage are important in
thyristors because these deviccs posscss regenerative action
and are required to support high voltage in the OFF state. In
the two-transistor model shown in Fig. 2, an increase in
temperature causes a leakage current which, if allowed to
migrate to the base of the n-p-n transistors, forces the
transistor into the active region. Regenerative action then
calls for additional leakage current, and causes the model to
switch into the ON state and establish a principal-current
flow. For reliable operation at high temperature, the base of
the n-p-n transistor should be terminated with a low value of
resistance to prevent turn-on as a result of. high-temperature
operation.
Because gate termination is required on all thyristors, ReA
devices contain a diffused internal gate-cathode resistor (the
so-called "shorted-emitter"
design) and do not require
external gate termination. Therefore, it is not necessary to
specify an OFF-state rating under the conditions of external
gate-resistance termination. The use of this internal shunt
resistance improves the OFF -state blocking capability,
provides increased immunity against false turn-on, and
slightly increases gate-current requirements.
OFF-state voltage ratings of thyristors are specified for both

steady-state and transient operation for both forward
(positive) and reverse (negative) '-'locking conditions at the
maximum junction temperature. For SCR's, voltages are
considered to be forward (positive) when the anode is at a
positive potential with reference to the cathode. Negative
voltages are referred to as reverse-blocking voltages. For
(riacs, voltages are considered to be positive when main
terminal 2 is at a positive potential with reference to main
terminal I; this condition is referred to as first-quadrant (I)
operation. Third-quadrant (III) operation occurs when main
terminal 2 is at a negative potential with reference to main
terminal I. Fig. 4 shows the principal voltage-current
characteristics for both SCR's and triacs. .
voltage. When the SCR is in the ON state, the forward

current is limited primarily by the impedance of the ext~rnal
circuit. Increases in forward (principal) current are accompanied by only a slight change in ON-state voltage.
If the triac is considered as two parallel SCR's oriented in
opposite directions to provide symmetrical curreilt flow, the
behavior of a triac under positive or reverse voltage operation
is essentially the same as that of an SCR in the forwardblocking mode.

and
Operation of an SCR under reverse-blocking voltage is similar

to that of a reverse-bi3sed silicon rectifier or other semiconductor diodes. In this operating mode, the SCR exhibits a
very high internal impedance, and a small reverse current
flows through the p-n-p-n structure until the reverse breakdown voltage is reached, at which time the reverse current
increases rapidly. For forward (positive) operation, the SCR
is electrically bistable and exhil:its either high impedance
(forward-blocking or OFF state) or low impedance (forwardconducting or ON state). In the forward-blocking state, a
small leakage current, considered to be of approximately the
same value as that for reverse leakage, flows through the
p-n-p-n structure. As the forward voltage is increased, a
"breakdown" point is reached at which the forward current
increases rapidly and the voltage across the SCR decreases
abruptly to a very low voltage, referred to as the forward ON
When the gate current 19 is zero, the applied voltage must

reach the breakover voltage of the SCR or triac before
switching occurs. As the value of gate current is increased,
however, the ability of a thyristor to support applied voltage
is reduced and there is a certain value of gate current at
which the behavior of the thyristor closely resembles that of
a rectifier. Because thyristor turn-on, as a result of exceeding
the breakover voltage, can p,oduce instantaneous power
dissipation during the switching transition, an irreversible
condition may exist unless the magnitude and rate of rise of
principal current is restricted to tolerable levels. For normal
operation, therefore, thyristors are operated at applied
voltages lower than the breakover voltage, and are made to
switch to the ON state by gate signals of sufficient amplitude
to assure complete turn-on independent of the applied
voltage. Once the thyristor is triggered to the ON state, the
principal-current flow is independent lJf gate voltage or gate
current, and the device remains in the ON state until the
principal-current flow is reduced to a value below the holding
current required to sustain regeneration.
The gate voltage and current reqUired to switch a thyristor
from its high-impedance (OFF) state to its low-impedance
(ON) state at maximum rated forward anode current can be
determined from the circuit shown in Fig. 6. Resistor R2 is

selected so that the anode current specified in the manufacturer's ratings flows when the device latches into its
low-impedance or ON state. The value of RI is gradually
decreased until the device under test is switched from its
OFF state to its low-impedance or ON state. The values of
gate current and gate voltage immediately prior to switching
are the values required to trigger the thyristor. For an SCR,
there is only one mode of gate firing capable of switching the
device into the ON state, i.e., a positive gate signal for a
positive anode voltage. If the gate polarity is reversed
(negative voltage), the reverse current flow is limited by the
value of R2 and the gate-cathode internal shunt. The value of
power dissipated for the reverse gate polarity is restricted to
the maximum power-dissipation limit imposed by the ma:lufacturer.
Fig.6 - Circuit used to measure thyristor gate voltage and

current switching threshold.
Because of its complex structure, a triac can be triggered by
either a positive or a negative gate signal regardless of the
voltage polarity across the main terminals of the device. Fig.
7 illustrates the triggering mechanism and current flow
within a triac. The gate trigger polarity is always referenced
to main terminal I. The potential difference between the two

terminals is such that gate current flows in the direction
indicated by the dotted arrow. The polarity symbol at main
terminal 2 is also referenced to main terminal I. The
semiconductor materials between the various junctions within the pellet are labeled "p" and "n" to indicate the type of
majority-carrier concentrations within the material.
For the various operating modes, the polarity of the volrage
on main terminal 2 with respect to main terminal I is given
by the quadrant in which the triac operates (either I or III),
and :he polarity of the gate signal used to trigger the device is
given by the proper symbol next to the operating quadrant.
For the 1(+) operating mode, main terminal 2 and the gate
are both positive with respect to main terminal I. Initial gate
CUi"fent flows into the gate terminal, through the p-type
layer, across the junction into the n-type layer, and out main
terminal I, as shown by the dotted arrow. As gate current
flows, current multiplication occurs and the regenerative
action within the pellet switches the triac to its ON state.
Because of the polarities indicated between the main
terminals, the principal current flows through the p-n-p-n
structure as shown by the solid arrow. Similarly, for the
other three operating modes, the initial gate-current flow is
shown by the dotted arrow, and principal-current flow
through the main terminals is shown by t;le solid arrow.
Because the direction of principal current influences the gate
trigger current, the magnitude of the current reqUired to
trigger the triac differs for each mode. The operating modes
in which the principal current is in the same direction as the
gate current require less gate trigger current; modes in which
the principal current is in opposition to the gate current
require more gate trigger current.
Because triacs are bidirectional, they can provide full-cycle
(360-degree) control of ac power from either a positive or a
negative gate-drive signal. This feature is an advantage when
it is necessary to control ac power from low-level logic
systems such as integrated-circuit logic. With gate-power
requirements for turn-on in the milliwatt region, triacs are
capable of controlling power levels up to 10 kilowatts. Thus,
the power gain associated with these thyristors far exceeds
that of transistor counterparts in the semiconductor switching field.
m{+)
Fig.7 - Current flow in a triac.
Like many other semiconductor-device parameters, the magnitude of gate trigger current and voltage varies with the
junction temperature. As thermal excitation of carriers
within the semiconductor material increases, the increase in
leakage current makes it easier for the device to be triggered
by a gate signal. Therefore, the gate becomes more sensitive
in all operating modes as the junction temperature increases.
Conversely, if a triac or SCR is to be operated at low
temperatures, sufficient gate trigger current must be provided
to assure triggering of all devices at the lowest operating
temperature expected in any particular application. Variations of gate-trigger requirements are given in the published
data for individual thyristors.
The gate current specified in published data for thyristors is

the dc gate trigger current required to switch an SCR or triac
into its low-impedance state. For practical purposes, this dc
value can be considered equivalent to a pulse current that has
a minimum pulse width of 50 microseconds. For gate-current
pulse widths smaller than 50 microseconds, the pulse-current
curves associated with a particular device should be used to
assure turn-on.

When pulse triggering of a thyristor is required, it is always
advantageous to provide a gate-current pulse that has a
magnitude exceeding the dc value required to trigger the
device. The use of large trigger currents reduces variations in
turn-on time, increases di/dt capability, minimizes the effect
of temperature variation on triggering characteristics, and
makes possible very short switching times. When a thyristor
is initially triggered illto conduction, the current is confined
to a small area which is usually the more sensitive part of the
cathode. If the anode current magnitude is great, the
localized instantaneous power dissipation may result in
irreversible damage unless the rate of rise of principal current
is restricted to tolerable levels to allow time for current
spreading over a larger area. When a much larger gate signal is
applied, a greater part of the cathode is turned on initially; as
a result, turn-on time is reduced, and the thyristor can
support a much larger peak anode inrush current.
Switching
Characteristics
Ratings of thyristors are based upon the amount of heat

generated within the device pellet and the ability of the
device package to transfer the internal heat to the external
case. For highperformance applications in which switching
of high peak current values but narrow pulse widths is
desired, the internal energy dissipated during the turn-on
process must be determined to assure that power dissipation
is within ratings.
When thyristors (either triacs or SCR's) are triggered by a
gate signal, the turn-on time consists of two stages, a delay
time td and a rise time tr, as shown in Fig. 8. The total
turn-on time tgt is defined as the time interval between the
initiation of the gate signal and the time for the principal
anode c~rrent flow through the thyristor to reach 90 per
cent of its maximum value for a resistive load. The delay
time td is defined as the time interval between the
SO-per-cent point of the leading edge of the gate trigger
voltage and the 10-per-cent point of the principal current for
a resistive load. The rise time tr is the time interval required
for the principal current to rise from 10 to 90 per cent of its
maximum value. The total turn-on time ton is the sum of
both delay and rise time (td + tr).
Although the thyristor is affected to some extent by the
peak off-state voltage and the peak on-state current level, the
turn-on time is influenced primarily by the magnitude of the
gate-trigger pulse current, as shown in Fig. 9. Faster turn-on
time for larger gate drive is a result of a decrease in delay

current density at the gate-cathode periphery. Of major
importance in the turn-on time interval is the relationship
between thyristor voltage and principal current flow through
the thyristor. During the turn-on interval, the dynamic
voltage drop is high and the current density can produce
localized hot spots in the pellet area. Therefore, it is
important that power dissipation during turn-on be restricted
to levels within device specifications.

Fig.9 - Thyristor turn-on time as a function of gate trigger

current.
Turn-off time of a thyristor can be associated only with

SCR's. In triacs, a reverse voltage cannot be used to provide
circuit-commutated turn-off voltage because a reverse voltage
applied to one half of the triac structure would be a
forward-bias voltage to the other half. For turn-off times in

an SCR, the recovery period consists of two stages, a reverse
recovery time and a gate recovery time, as shown in Fig. 10.

of a full-wave rectifier bridge, however, there is no reverse

voltage available for turn-off, and complete turn-off can be
accomplished only if the bridge output is reduced to zero
volts or the principal current is reduced to a value lower than
the device holding current.
d"'FBdt~'
Because turn-off times are not associated with triacs due to

the physical structure of the device, a new term is introduced
called "critical rate of rise of commutation voltage", or the
ability of a triac to commutate a fixed value of current under
specified conditions. The rating can be explained by consideration of two SCR's in an inverse parallel mode, as shown
in Fig. II. SCR-I is assumed to be in the conducting state

When the forward current of an SCR is reduced to zero at

the end of a conduction period, application of reverse voltage
between the anode and cathode terminals causes reverse
current to flow in the SCR until the time that the reverse
current passes its peak value to a steady-state level called the
reverse recovery time trr. A second recovery period, called
the gate recovery time, tgr, must then elapse for the
forward-blocking junction to establish a depletion region so
that forward-blocking voltage can be reapplied and successfully blocked by the SCR. The gate recovery time of an SCR
is usually much longer than the reverse recovery time. The
total time from the instant reverse recovery current begins to
flow to the start of the forward- blocking voltage is referred
to as circuit-eommutated turn-off time tq.

with forward current established. As the principal cur.ent

flow crosses the zero reference point, a small reverse current
flows in SCR-I until the time that the SCR reverts to the
OFF state. The principal current is then diverted to SCR-2,
provided that sufficient gate current is available to that
device.
The structure of a triac shown in Fig. 12 indicates that the
main blocking junctions are common to both halves of the
Turn-off time depends upon a number of circuit parameters,

including on-state current prior to turn-off, rate of change of
current during the forward-to-reverse transition, reverseblocking voltage, rate of change of reapplied forward voltage,
gate trigger level, the gate bias, and junction temperature.
Junction temperature and on-state current have a more
significant effect on turn-off than any of the other factors.
With turn-off time specified on the manufacturer's data sheet
and dependent upon the conditions as outlined above,
turn-off time specification is only meaningful if all of the
above critical parameters are available in the actual application.
For applications in which an SCR is used to control 60-Hz ac
power, the entire negative half of the sine wave is a turn-off
condition and more than adequate for complete turn-off. For
applications in which the SCR is used to control the output
device. When the first half of the triac structure (SCR-I) is in

the conducting state, a quantity of charge accumulates in the
n-type region as a result of the principal current flow. As the
principal current crosses the zero reference point, a small
reverse current is established as a result of the charge

remaining in the IHype region. Because the n-type region is
common to both halves of the devices, this reverse recovery
current becomes a forward current to the second half of the
triac. The current resulting from stored charge may cause the
second half of the triac to go into the conducting state in the
absence of a gate signal. Once current conduction has been
established by application of a gate signal, therefore, com-
capability to support a fast rate of rise of applied voltage.

The result is a loss of power control to the load, and the
device remains in the conducting state in absence of a gate
signal. Therefore, it is imperative that some means be
provided to restrict the rate of rise of reapplied voltage to a
value which will permit triac turn-off under the conditions of
inductive load.
plete loss in power control can occur as a result of

interaction within the n-type base region of the triac unless
sufficient time elapses to assure turn-off. It is imperative that
triac manufacturers provide sufficient information regarding
commutating
capabiiity under maximum current and
case-temperature conditions so that triac control of ac power
for resistive loading in a 60-Hz power source can be assured.
An accepted method for keeping the com mutating dv/dt

within tolerable levels during triac turn-off is to use an RC
snubber network in parallel with the main terminals of the
triac. Because the rate of rise of applied voltage at the triac
terminal is a function of the load impedance and the RC
snubber network, the circuit can be evaluated under worstcase conditions of operating case temperature, maximum
principal current, and any value of conjunction angle. The
values of resistance and capacitance in the snubber are then
adjusted so that the rate of rise of commutating dv/dt stress
is within the specified minimum limit under any of the
conditions mentioned above. The value of snubber resistance
should be high enough to limit the snubber capacitance
discharge currents during turn-on and dampen the LC
oscillation during commutation (turn-off). Any combination
of snubber resistance and capacitance that provides the
requirements outlined above is considered satisfactory.
Commutation of triacs is more severe with inductive loads

than with resistive load~ because of the phase lag between
voltage and current associated with inductive loads. Fig. 13
shows the waveforms for an inductive load with lagging
Some of the factors affecting commutating dv/dt capability

of triacs are temperature, current magnitude, rate of change
of curren t during commutation, and frequency of the applied
principal current. With frequency directly related to commutating di/dt, early triac use was restricted to 60-Hz applications. Continued technological advances in triac device structure has resulted in faster "turn-off' capability and made
possible a new family of triacs having 400-Hz commutating
capability that is now being offered to circuit designers who
must work with 400-Hz source voltages.
current power factor. At the time the current reaches zero

crossover (point A), the half of the triac in conduction kgins
to commutate when the principal current falls below the
holding current required to sustain regeneration. Because the
high-voltage junction is common to both halves of the triac,
the stored charge can be neutralized c.nly by recombination.
At the instant the conducting half of the triac turns off, an
applied voltage opposite to the current polari:y is applied
across the triac terminals (point B)_ Because this voltage is a
forward bias to the second half of the triac, the sudden
reapplied voltage in conjunction with the remaining stored
charge in the high-voltage junction reduces the over-all device
Another important parameter for thyristors is the "critical

rate of rise of off-state voltage". A source voltage can be
suddenly applied to an SCR or a triac which is in the OFF
state through either closure of an ac line switch or transient
voltages as a result of an ac line disturbance. If the fast rate
of rise of the transient voltage exceeds the device rating, the
thyristor may switch from the OFF state to the conducting
state in the absenc of a gate signal. If the thyristor is
controlling alternatit
voltage, "false" turn-on (non-gated)
resulting from a tran mt imposed voltage is limited to no
more than half the applied voltage because turn-off occurs
during the zero current crossing. However, if the source
voltage suddenly applied to the OFF thyristor is a dc voltage,
the device may switch to the ON state and turn-off could
then be achieved only by circuit interruptions. The switching
from the OFF state is caused by the internal capacitance of
the thyristor. A steep-rising voltage dv/dt impressed across
the terminals of a thy! istor causes a capacitance-charging
current to flow through the device. This charging current
(i;Cdv/dt) is a function of the rate of rise of applied off-state
voltage. Il' the rate of rise of voltage exceeds a critical value,
the capacitance-charging current exceeds the gate trigger

current and causes device turn-on. Operation at elevated
junction temperatures reduces the thyristor ability to support a steep rising voltage dv!dt because less gate current is
required for turn-on. The effect of temperature on the
critical rate of rise of off-state voltage is shown in Fig. 14.

frequently encountered in thyristor applications. When an

RC snubber is added at the thyristor terminals, the rate of
rise of voltage at the terminals is a function of the load
impedance and the RC values used in the network. In some
applications, "false" (non-gated) turn-on for even a portion
of the applied voltage cannot be tolerated, and circuit
response to voltage transients must be determined. An
effective means of generating fast-rising transients and
observing the circuit response to such transients is shown in
Fig. J 5. This circuit makes use of the "splash" effects of a
mercury-wetted relay to transfer a capacitor charge to the
input terminals of a control circuit. This approach permits
generation of a transient of known magnitude whose rate of
rise of voltage can easily be displayed on an oscilloscope. For
a given load condition, the values in the RC snubber network
can be adjusted so that the transient voltage at the device
terminals is suppressed to a tolerable level. This approach
affords the circuit designer with meaningful information as
to how a control circuit will respond in a heavy transient
environment. The circuit is capable of generating transient

Voltage transients which occur in electrical systems as a result

of disturbance on the ac line caused by various sources such
as energizing transformers, load switching, solenoid closure,
contacto!"s, and the like may generate voltages which are
above the ratings of thyristors and result in spike voltages
exceeding the critical rate of rise of off-state voltage
capability. Thyristors, in general, switch from the OFF state
to the ON state whenever the breakover voltage of the
device is exceeded, and energy is then transferred to the
load. Good practice in the use of thyristors exposed to a
heavy transient environment is to provide some form of
transient suppression.
For applications in which low-energy, long-duration transients may be encountered, it is advisable to use thyristors
that have voltage ratings greater than the highest voltage
transient expected in the system to proVide protection
against destructive transients. The use of voltage clipping
cells is also effective. In either case, analysis of the circuit
application will reveal the extent to which suppression
should be employed. In an SCR application in which there is
a possibility of exceeding the reverse-blocking voltage rating,
it is advisable to add a clip cell or to use an SCR with a
higher reverse-blocking voltage rating to minimize power
dissipation in the reverse mode. Because triacs generally
switch to a low conducting state, if the di!dt buildup of the
principal current flow after turn-on is within device ratings it
is safe to assume that reliable operation will be achieved
under the specified conditions.
The use of an RC snubber is most effective in reducing the
effects of the high-energy short-duration transients more

Use of Diacs For Control
Triggering
Basically, thryristors are current-dependent devices, and the

magnitude of gate current IGT and voltage VGT required to
trigger a thyristor into the on-state varies. The point at which
thyristor triggering occurs depends not only on the required
gate current and voltage, but also on the trigger source
impedance and voltage. Fig. 17 shows a family of curves
representing the gate-circuit load line between the opencircuit source voltage and the short-circuit current for
different time intervals. In a circuit which applies timedependent variable voltage Vac to a load and the gate trigger

triggered earlier in the ac cycle than devices that have a

higher gate trigger current Fig. 3. Although the circuit is
capable of providing variable power to the load, it is heavily
dependent on the gate current distribution, and results in
uncontrolled conduction angles for a given value of gate
series resistance. Furthermore, the circuit does not provide
the recommended gate-current overdrive for switching of the
fast-rising high-amplitude load currents present in resistive
loading. A more efficient circuit for control of variable
power to a load that eliminates the need for tight gatecurrent distribution uses a solid-state trigger device, called a
diac, which is voltage dependent.

the negative characteristics associated with diacs when they

are exposed to voltages in excess of the breakover voltage
V(BO). Because of their bidirectional properties and breakover voltage level, diacs are useful in triac control circuits in
which variable power is to be supplied to a load. Because of
their negative characteristic slope, diacs can also be used with
capacitors to provide the fast-rising high-magnitude trigger
current pulses recommended in thyristor applications which
require efficient gate turn-on for the purpose of switching
high-level load currents.
In normal applications, diacs are used in conjunction with
RC phase networks to trigger triacs, as shown in Fig:19. The
RC phase network provides an initial phase-angle displacement</!so that conduction angles in excess of 90 degrees can
be realized. As the voltage on the capacitor begins to build
up in a sinusoidal manner, the breakover voltage V(BO) of
the diac is reached, the triac is turned on, and a portion of
the ac input voltage ;s provided to the load, as represented by
the angle a. As previously mentioned, the diac offers a
negative-resistance region and is capable of providing current
pulses whose magnitude and pulse width are a function of
the capacitor C and the combined impedance of the diac and
the gate and main terminal ot' the triac. When the voltage on
the capacitor C reaches the breakover voltage V(BO) , the
capacitor does not discharge completely, but is restricted to
some finite level as a result of the diac negative-impedance
characteristic at high values of pulse current. Fig. 20 shows
the peak pulse current of a diac as a function of the
capacitances of the phasing capacitor C.

circuit are not critical because the SCR has a half-cycle of

applied negative voltage in which to recover. The SCR
provides a reliable, highly efficient, long-life control for
half-wave control circuits.
Fig. 22 shows a full-wave bridge that feeds a resistive load
and uses an SCR as the control element for load current.
Power control is accomplished by SCR turn-on at various
conduction angles with respect to the applied voltage. The
criteria for turn-off in this circuit is important because the
SCR must recover its forward-blocking state during the time
that the forward current stops flowing. Although this time
interval may appear to be very small, close analysis of the
voltage wave during the transition time in which the
full-wave bridge reverses direction reveals that substantial
time exists for turn-off.

Fig.20 - Peak pulse current of a diac as a function of phasing

capacitance.
In the control of ac power by means of semiconductor

devices, emphasis has been placed on circuit simplicity, low
cost, and small over-all package size. Thyristors meet these
goals, and are also capable of providing either fixed or
adjustable power to the load. Fixed power is achieved by use
of the thyristor as an ON-OFF switch, and adjustable power
through the use of an RC phase network which provides
variable phase-gating operation. The following section discusses both SCR and triac circuit operations, and analysis of
SCR and triac behavior for various circuit conditions.
Many
fractional-horsepower
motors are series-wound
"universal" motors capable of operation from either an ac or
a dc source. In the early stages of thyristor control, SCR's
found wide acceptance in the control of universal motors,
particularly in the portable power tools market. SCR's are
capable of providing speed control over half of an ac sine
wave, and, if full power is required, a simple shorting switch
across the SCR provides the necessary function; such a
switch is shown in Fig. 21. Turn-off parameters for this
Fig. 23 shows one-half of the bridge during the time that the
forward current is approaching zero current. Two diodes are
in series with the SCR; it is generally accepted that a diode

voltage of approximately 0.6 volt is required to maintain

each diode in conduction. If it is further assumed that a
voltage of approximately 0.6 volt is required across the SCR
to maintain conduction, the sum of the voltage drops over
the circuit requires 1.8 volts; below this value, the SCR drops
out of conduction. As the bridge reverses current direction,
the same analysis holds true, i.e., forward conduction current
is not resumed until the sum of the voltage drops exceeds 1.8
volts.
The waveform during the interval that the voltage wave goes
from 1.8 vofts to zero can be analyzed by reference to Fig.
24. A half-cycle (180 degrees) of conduction requires 8.3
milliseconds, one degree being equal to approximately 46
microseconds. Because a sine wave is linear for very small
angles, a graph can be constructed to show the time interval
during which the voltage is less than 1.8 volts for various
magnitudes of applied voltage. Analysis of the voltage wave
for an angle of one degree shows that an input voltage of 120
volts rms results in a voltage equal to 2.9 volts, which decays
to zero in 46 microseconds.
Because the SCR is
non-conducting below a circuit threshold of 1.8 volts, a time
of 28.5 microseconds then elapses while the voltage decays
from 1.8 volts to zero. An equal time is required for the
bridge to build up to the threshold voltage of 1.8 volts.
Therefore, a total exposure time of 57 microseconds elapses
in which the SCR is allowed to regain its forward-blocking
state.
times for SCR's are industry-standardized to include peak

forward current, rate of rise of reverse current, peak forward
blocking voltage applied, and rate of rise of applied blocking
voltage. The presence of the applied reverse current helps to
shorten turn-off times because the reverse current sweeps out
the charge in the blocking junction. For SCR operation from
a full-wave bridge in which there is no appreciable reverse
voltage available, turn-off is accomplished through recombination, and the effects of circuit loading on SCR operation
must be clearly evaluated.
FuJi-wave ac switching can also be performed by use of two
SCR's in an inverse parallel mode, often referred to as a
"back-to-back" SCR pair, as shown in Fig. 25. This circuit
can be used as a simple static switch or as a variable phase
control circuit. It does not make use of a full-wave diode
bridge, but simply uses the SCR's in an alternating mode.
The circuit has the disadvantage of separate trigger logic, but
possesses an inherent advantage in higher-frequency applications because advantage can be taken of the periods of the
alternating voltage in which either device may recover to its
blocking state. During the half-cycle of the applied voltage
that SCR-I is conducting, SCR-2 is reverse-biased and can
recover its blocking state. Because of the applied reverse
voltage and associated time of the half-cycle voltage, turn-off
times are not critical.
As shown in Fig. 24, increasing the magnitude of the applied

voltage source to 240 volts rms cuts in half the time interval
which the SCR is allowed for turn-off. Further increases in
input voltage magnitude result in shorter turn-off periods.

from 1.8 volts to zero.
This analysis gives a clear, well-defined picture of the turn-off

time available for a resistive load. However, for reactive
loads, such as fractional-horsepower motors, the turn-off
conditions, including turn-off time and dv/dt stress, are more
difficult to define because they are affected by a number of
variables, including the back EMF of the motor, the ratio of
inductance to resistance, the motor loading, and the phase
angle of motor current to source voltage. Normally, turn-off
This two-SCR circuit is often favored over a triac circuit,

even though separate trigger sources are required, because it
is supposed to have better commutating capability. Fig. 26
shows the waveforms of com mutating dv/dt for the SCR
circuit. If the load is inductive with lagging current power
factor, the conducting SCR commutates at the time the
principal current reaches zero crossover (point A) and reverts
to the blocking state; a reapplied voltage of opposite polarity
equal to the source voltage then appears across the nonconducting SCR. Because this voltage is a forward-bias
voltage to the non-conducting SCR, device turn-on can occur
if the rate of rise of applied forward voltage exceeds the
device rating for critical rate of rise of off-state voltage. For
inductive loading in an inverse-parallel-mode SCR application, power control to the load can be lost if the rate of rise
of applied voltage is exceeded.
Fig. 27 shows the basic triac-diac light-dimmer control circuit

with the triac connected in series with the load. During the
beginning of each half-cycle, the triac is in the off-state and
the entire line voltage is across the triac; therefore, no
voltage appears across the load. (Actually, there is some
voltage across the load as a result of triac leakage currents,
which are a function of applied voltage and junction temperature. However, these leakage currents are relatively small, at
most in the milliampere range, and the resulting load voltages
are generally ignored.)
'--,,
The RC charge-control circuit is in parallel with the control

triac, and the applied voltage serves to charge the timing
capacitor C through the variable resistor R. When the voltage
across C reaches the breakover voltage V(RO) of the diac, the
capacitor discharges through the diac and the gate-to-mainterminal-I impedance of the triac and turns on the control
triac. At this point, the line voltage is transferred to the load
for the remainder of the applied half-cycle voltage. As the
load current reverses direction (zero crossing), the triac turns
off and reverts to the blocking state. This sequence of events
is repeated for every following half-cycle of applied voltage.

dv/dt for SCR circuit of
Fig. 25.
Although it may appear that the rate of rise is extremely fast,

closer circuit evaluation reveals that the dv/dt stress is
restricted to some finite value which is a function of the load
reactance L and the device capacitance C. Therefore, it is
important that the rate of rise of applied voltage during
commutation not exceed the device specification for critical
rate of rise of off-state voltage under worst-case condition or
unreliable operation may result. It is generally good practice
in inverse-parallel operation to use an RC snubber network
across the SCR pair to limit the late of rise to some finite
value below the minimum requirements, not only to limit the
voltage rise during commutation, but also to suppress
transient voltage that may occur as a result of ac line
disturbances.
As previously mentioned, the use of semiconductor devices
for ac power control has emphasized circuit simplicity, low
cost, and small over-all package size. The development of the
bidirectional triode thyristor, referred to as a triac, achieved
all of these goals. Triacs can perform the same functions as
two SCR's for full-wave operation, and also simplify gate
logic requirements for triggering.
A simple, inexpensive triac circuit that can provide variable
power to a load over a full cycle' of applied voltage is the
light-dimmer circuit. This circuit contains a diac, a triac, and
an RC phase-control network. The basic lightdimmer circuit
is described below because it provides a good example of
triac behavior as related to load reqUirements and of the
operation of a diac in an RC phase-control circuit.
If the value of resistance R is decreased, the capacitor charges

to the breakover voltage V(RO) of the diac earlier in the ac
cycle; the power supplied to the load is then increased and
the lamp intensity is effectively increased. If the value of
resistance R is increased, triac triggering occurs later in the ac
cycle and applied voltage to the load is reduced; the result is
uecreased lamp intensity. Therefore, changes in the resistance
value R effectively apply variable power to a load (which is a
lamp load in the circuit of Fig. 27, but could also be a motor
load or heating element).
Although the load is arbitrarily placed in series with main
terminal 2, the circuit performs equally as well if the load is
shifted to main terminal I. (Actually, any commercial lamp
dimmer available has two wires brought out for external
connection, and the chance that the load will be connected
to main terminal I is 50 per cent.) The only requirements for
reliable operation are that the RC phase network be in
parallel with the triac and that capacitor-discharge loop
currents be directed from the diac to the triac gate and main
terminal I. Although the basic light-control circuit operates
with the component arrangement shown in Fig. 27, additional components are often added to reduce hysteresis
effects, extend the effective range of power control, and
suppress radio-frequency interference.
Hysteresis in triac phase.control circuits is referred to as the
ratio of applied load voltage when the triac initially turns on
(as control potentiometer is slowly reduced from some high
value) to the value of load voltage prior to "extinguishing"
(as the control potentiometer is slowly increased to some
higher value). If the circuit has high hysteresis, the control
potentiometer travel may be as high as 25 per cent before
triac turn-on occurs, after which the control potentiometer
may be turned back 15 per cent before the triac "extinguishes". Hysteresis is an undesirable feature if the circuit
application requires low-level lamp illumination because a
momemtary drop in line voltage may result in the triac
"extinguishing" or missing one half-cycle of applied voltage
when the capacitor voltage is barely equal to the breakover
voltage V(BO) of the diac. If this condition exists, the
control potentiometer must be reduced to "start up" the
triac again.
Hysteresis is a result of the capacitor discharging through the
diac and not recovering the original voltage prior to
triggering. Fig. 28 shows the waveforms of the charging
'

to reduce the effective diac negative resistance and minimize

the change in capacitor voltage. However, this change reduces
the gate current pulse and, if not carefully controlled, may
result in di/dt failures because the triac switches highmagnitude current under minimum gate drive.
A more effective method of reducing hysteresis is to use a
second RC time constant, or a "double-time-constant"
circuit such as that shown in Fig. 29. As C2 supplies the
charging voltage for the diac breakover voltage V(BO), the

abrupt change is capacitor voltage during diac turn-on is
partially restored by capacitor CJ , as shown in Fig. 30. The
restoring of the charge on C2 maintains the original triggering
point very closely and results in extended range of the
control setting. This triac circuit can be turned on for very
low levels of applied voltage and is not prone to "extinguishing" for line-voltage drops.

is slowly reduced, the value of
charging voltage reaches the breakover voltage V(BO) of the
diac, and the triac allows that portion of the ac wave
remaining to appear at the load, as represented by the shaded
area at the first trigger point. At this point, there is an abrupt
change in capacitor voltage (A V):Therefore, as the capacitor
charge reverses direction, the second trigger point is reached
much earlier in the next half-cycle, and that portion of the ac
wave remaining appears across the load, as represented by the
shaded area at the second trigger point. The second trigger
point and subsequent trigger points represent the steadystate
level at which triggering occurs. Some reduction in hysteresis
can be realized by inserting a resistor in series with the diac

(reduced hysteresis).
Because triac switching from the high-impedance to the

low-impedance state can occur in less than one microsecond,
the current applied to the load increases from essentially zero
to a magnitude limited by the load impedance within the
triac switching time. This rapid rise of load current produces
radio-frequency interference (RF!) extending into the range
of several megahertz. Although this rapid rise does not affect
television and FM radio frequencies, it does affect the
short-wave and AM radio bands. The level of RFl generated

Thyristor Control of Incandescent

Traffic-Signal Lamps
This Note discusses the use of thyristors in the control of

traffic signals. The thyristor most applicable to this
application is the triac, which can carry the electrical power
required for incandescent traffic-light bulbs, yet can be gated
by the low-power signals from electronic control timers or
monitoring computers. In addition, the triac is able to handle
the large transient currents that result from cold ftIament
turn-on (inrush) and ftIament rupture (flashover). Triac
operation, stresses on triacs in operation with incandescent
lamps, and a number of triac circuits for control of
incandescent lamps in traffic signal applications are discussed
below.

0HSTATE
TRIAC OPERATION
A triac, shown schematically in Fig. I(a), is a bidirectional triode thyristor. In the absence of a gate signal, the
triac blocks both portions of an ac sine wave, but a
steady-state or pulsed gate signal will switch it on as in Fig.
I(b). The gate signal can be either positive or negative with
respect to main terminal no. I (MTl), while MT2 can also be
either positive or negative referenced to MTl; the four possible modes of switching are depicted in Table I. For example,
when a triac is triggered by connecting a resistor between
MT2 and the gate, as shown in Fig. 2, the triac operates in
the 1+ and III- modes in energizing the ac load. Other
thyristor characteristics will be introduced below as needed,
while an extensive review of thyristors is available in RCA
Application Note AN-4242, "A Review of Thyristor Characteristics and Applications".

OPERATION
The traffic-control circuit designer must be aware of two

characteristics of incandescent bulbs: end-of-life fIlament
rupture and cold-filament inrush surge. Both these transient
conditions impose a high surge stress on the controlling triac,
which without proper circuit design can be destructive.

Flashover is a short-duration, extremely high-current
surge through the triac that is initiated when a lamp filament

termination in bulb life; however it can be caused by a
mechanical shock. The mechanism of flashover is initiated by

circuits is described in more detail in the following discussion
of inrush current.
Inrush
the gap formed when rupturing occurs. The instantaneous

value of line voltage across the break sets up an electric field
that ionizes the gases in close proximity to the gap. The
ionized gases, usually argon and nitrogen, provide an
electrical conduction path across the gap, and the resulting
current heats and ionizes more gases until an arc is formed
across the filament lead-in wires. The arc is maintained as
long as the regenerative heating and ionization continue.
Finally, because of either increasing arc length or decreasing
ac line voltage, or both, the electric field becomes too weak
to sustain the a,'c, and the arc is extinguished.
Fig. 3 shows a flashover current pulse. Its magnitude and
duration depend on many factors. The actual peak magnitude of the source voltage, the voltage phase at the instant of
filament rupture, and the impedance of the lead wires and
other circuitry (including RFI filters) all affect the duration
and magnitude of the surge. Typical values can be given for
the stress of flashover at a load center point. For bulbs of less
than 75 watts the duration of the surge can be typically less
than 2 milliseconds. For bulbs of 100 to 150 watts the duration of the surge can be typically less than 4 milliseconds. The
magnitude of surge can vary considerably, with typical peak
values ranging from 80 to 200 am peres when the flashover
occurs near the maximum voltage point. If the flashover
occurs at a zero-voltage crossing, the current surge may be
reduced as a result of the dependence of the magnitude on the
voltage phase at rupture.
Because of the short duration of the flashover current, it
is usually difficult to provide circuit fuse protection against
flashover. Most incandescent bulbs are provided with a fuse
built into one of the lead-in wires. This built-in fuse is not
100-per-cent effective against flashover and therefore cannot
In tungsten-filament lamps, the cold filament resistance is

approximately 1/18 to 1/12 of the hot mament resistance.
The actual currents in a circuit under inrush and steady-state
conditions do not vary in these ratios, however, because of
the inductance and external limiting resistance of the
circuitry, including the lead-in wires to the bulb. Furthermore, it is obvious that the highest inrush current will occur
at the peak of the voltage sine wave in a lamp load circuit. If
switching occurs at any other phase of the voltage sine wave,
the peak current through the bulb is less than "worst case".
Typically, the maximum inrush peak current can be ten times
as great as the steady-state peak current, while the peak inrush
current with zero-voltage switching can be approximately five
times as great as the steady-state peak current, as shown in
Fig. 4. Thus zero-voltage switching of a lamp effects a soft
turn-on that reduces the initial peak of inrush current by half
and greatly increases bulb life. This increase of bulb life by
zero-voltage switching has been verified by test results; an
increase in life of approximately ten times, with a 90 per cent
confidence level, has been reported. Thus maintenance costs
are reduced and system reliability increased.
Fig. 4 shows how the current in a lamp circuit decreases
to the steady-state value. The rate of decrease depends upon
the thermal time constant of the tunsten filament. A

a bulb is exposed to its most severe normal operating stress

during inrush, the weakest spot of the fIlament often
ruptures and causes a flashover at turn-on. Most often,
switching and flashover occur at some point other than the
peak voltage; therefore the resulting peak current is usually
within the handling capability of the triac.
Fuses in incandescent-lamp circuits must not blow under
the stress of inrush current, yet must blow under flashover
current. For lowpower bulbs the flashover current is
substantially greater than the peak inrush current, and fuse
protection is simple. For example, a 100-watt bulb might
have a typical flashover current of 100 to 200 amperes and a
typical inrush current of 10 amperes. For large-wattage
bulbs, however, fusing is difficult. For a 1000-watt bulb, the
peak flashover current might still be between 100 and 200
amperes, while the peak inrush current is approximately 120
amperes. Fuses set to blow at 150 amperes peak flashover
current of short duration may also blow under the
long-duration, slightly-lower-amplitude stress of inrush. As a
result, a fusing solution to the problem of triac protection
would be marginally reliable. One solution is to use a
40-ampere triac (available in the RCA-2N5443 series), which
has a single-cycle surge capability of 300 amperes, to control
this 10-ampere load. Here again system reliability would be
improved and maintenance costs reduced.
CIRCUITS
With the closelyrelated transient stresses imposed on a
triac by an incandescent-Iightbulb circuit having been noted,
a number of circuits that help to reduce these stresses on the
triac and increase lifetime of the bulb are discussed below.
Zero-Voltage Switching with an IC
An RCA-CA3059 integrated circuit (IC) can be used with
a triac to accomplish zero-voltage switching of a load. A
functional block diagram of this IC is shown in Fig. 5. The
CA3059 is a monolithic, multistage, integrated circuit that
incorporates
a diode limiter, a threshold detector, a
differential amplifier, a Darlington output driver, and other
features. A more extensive description of this IC is given in
RCA Application Note ICAN-6l82, "Features and Applications of RCA Integrated-Circuit ZeroVoltage Switches." The
CA3059-and-triac circuit for zero-voltage switching is shown
in Fig. 6. When QI is off, the IC does not generate pulses to
the gate of the triac. When QI is biased on, the IC generates
gating pulses of approximately 40 milliamperes for 100
microseconds that straddle the zero-voltage crossing points.
These pulses trigger the triac on in the 1+ and III+ modes at
the zero-voltage crossing for the resistive-tungsten-mament
bulb and effect the desired result of decreasing inrush
current.
Fig. 5-
Functional block diagram of the RCA-CA3059

integrated-circuit zero voltage switch.
The circuit shown in Fig. 6 has one disadvantage for

traffic controls, in which the bulb load is usually grounded
and the power circuit ground and the logic ground are
common. This arrangement presents a severe problem of
int~rfacing between logic and power circuitry. If the load in
Fig. 6 were grounded, terminal No.4 of the CA3059 would
be at line voltage above ground and the substrate (terminal
No.7) at ground potential when the bulb was energized. As a
result, the IC would be destroyed. Similar problems are
encountered whenever the logic circuitry is directly coupled
with the triac power circuit and the load is grounded.
However, this problem is eliminated in the discretecomponent circuits described below.

shown in Fig. 7. With Q lon, T1 is on and source voltage is

shunted away from the load. With QI biased off, T1 is off
and T2 is gated on through RI and RJ. When T2 conducts, it
connects R4 from gate to MT2 of T3, and thus triggers T3 on
in the 1+ and III- modes. Because T2 is a sensitive-gate device,
it turns on close to the zero-voltage point; therefore, the load
is also zero-voltage switched after the initial turnon. For a
typical T2300B device, triggering in the 1+ and Ill modes
results in firing at about 7 volts peak on the line. After T3 is
turned on, the triggering circuitry is shorted; therefore, no
triggering power is dissipated while the lamp is on.
Filament Pre-Heating
Another approach to reducing the inrush current is
shown in Fig. 8, where a fllament pre-heater function is
included in the switching arrangement. In this circuit, when
QI is off the logic interfacing triac T1 is off. R3, which can
be a fixed resistor of approximately 98 kilohms, is set so that
T2 is fired for only a small portion of the voltage cycle. This

firing is accomplished by the standard double-time-constant

lamp-dimmer gate circuitry of T2. The low-conduction-ohase
firing of the bulb keeps the tungsten fllament warm but not
hot enough to radiate any readily visible light. When QI is
turned on, T1 is gated on and R3 is shorted, and the lamp
load turns on.
The associated waveforms are shown in Fig. 9. For a
200-watt bulb in the circuit of Fig. 8, the first peak of
current through the bulb was 7.5 amperes when the warm up
circuit was used and 25 amperes with cold-fllament inrush.
These circuits of Figs. 7 and 8 show that triacs can be
used to switch power lamp loads and also interface with
low-level logic systems. They also show how some of the
stresses involved with the switching of incandescent lamps
can be reduced. Other switching circuitry for use in traffic
controls is discussed below.
OTHER APPLICABLE
ON.QFF SWITCHING
CIRCUITS
Two other circuits that can be used in the traffic control

area are shown in Figs. 10 and 12. These circuits have the
advantages of a common ground between logic and power
circuitry, grounded bulbs, and isolation between the dc logic
and the power circuitry afforded by use of the interfacing
logic triacs.
In the positive-logic switching circuit of Fig. 10, logic
triac T I is used to interface between the low level logic and
the load triac T2. With T1 gated on, C I is charged through
RI to the breakover voltage of the diac, at which point T2
and the load are triggered on. The various circuit waveforms
are shown in Fig. II. As Fig. II(d) shows, there is
continuous gate power driving T2 wheneve: T I is on and
thus the light is on hard.
A variation of this circuit with opposite (negative) logic is
shown in Fig. 12. In this circuit, when T1 is triggered on, T2
and the lamp are off. When T1 is off, CI can charge through
RI and R2 to diac breakover, which discharges CI into the
gate of T2 and energizes the load. The waveforms of this
circuit are shown in Fig. 13. Little gate power is dissipated in
this circuit because T2 shorts across its gate circuitry when it
is on.

THYRISTOR
FLASHER
Thyristors can also be used to advantage in flasher-type

traffic-control systems. In these applications, two lights are
usually flashed on and off as a warning display. Fig. 14 shows
a thyristor circuit that accomplishes this flashing function.
As shown, a silicon-controlled-rectifier (SCR) multivibrator
functions as the timer and flasher-triggering driver. The drive
to the control triac is de and is alternated between Tl and T2

according to the timing set in the multivibrator. A waveform
for the component values shown is displayed in Fig. 15. The
timing can be modified by selecting different values for any
of the following components: RI, R2, R3, R4, CI, C2. The
important features of this circuit are the simple, rugged de
power supply used and the use of SCR's as both timing and
memory devices to trigger the triacs. Alternative approaches
to the traffic control flasher are given in ICAN-6l82, "Features

AC - DC ISOLATION
In the circuits shown thus far, either a triac or an IC is

used to interface between the dc logic and the ac power
circuitry. A number of other methods can be used to isolate
these stages in a traffic controller. The circuit of Fig. 16
illustrates the use of a reed-type relay. When the relay is
activated, the triac is gated in its 1+ and III- modes and little
power is dissipated in the gate circuit. Fig. 17 shows the use
of a light source and photocell combination. Because the
photocell is part of a single-time-constant circuit, it must

RFI SUPPRESSION
Radio-frequency interference (RFI) that can result from

the fast triac SWitching of high power loads must be
considered in traffic control circuits. When an ac load is
switched on, as shown in Fig. 19, RFI is generated in the
initial wavefront. This steep wavefront contains many
harmonics that can be sustained by the circuit Q.
One method of reducing RFI is zero-voltage switching

with resistive loads; thus, the circuits above that utilize the
RCA-CA3059 IC inherently include RFI suppression. Circuits that do not use zero-voltage switching require external
filters for RFI suppression. A typical filter used in
conjunction with ac loads is portrayed in Fig. 20. The effect

Analysis and Design of Snubber

Networks for dv/dt Suppression
in Thyristor Circuits
When a triac is used to control an inductive load, voltages

with high rates of change (dv/dt) can be generated that can
cause a non-gated turn-on of the triac. This false turn-on can
occur if the dv/dt exceeds the critical rate of rise of commutation voltage of the triac, or if voltage ringing occurs that
exceeds the blocking capability of the triac (VOROM)' The
false triggering caused by these mechanisms resul ts in a loss
of control of power to the load; to assure reliable operation,
therefore, it is necessary to provide means to suppress this
dv/dt stress as it is commonly called. The simplest method of
dv/dt suppression is the use of a series RC network across the
main terminals of the triac. The design of this network,
commonly called a snubber network, must take into account
the peak voltage that can be allowed in the circuit, and the
maximum dv/dt stress that the device can withstand. This
Note analyzes the RC network design and presents graphs
that allow a designer to select a snubber to fulfill his
requirements.
Commutating dv/dt And False Turn-On
Fig. I shows a control triac in a typical connection with
an ac power source and a load. The triac is a regenerative
device; once it has been turned on, it continues to conduct
until the principal current drops below a value that just
supports the regeneration. This current level is called the
holding current of the device. If the gate signal is removed
before the principal current decreases below the holding
current, the device turns off and regains its blocking
capability.
Fig. 2 shows the triac principal voltage and current

waveforms when the load is resistive. If the gate signal is
removed at time to' the device continues to conduct until the
current attempts to reverse polarity. The device then
undergoes a reverse recovery period, and thereafter must
support a main terminal voltage of the reverse polarity that is
equal to the source voltage. The rate of reapplication of this
off-state voltage for a resistive load and a l20-volt 60-Hz
source is typically 0.064 volt per microsecond if the stray
inductance due to wiring is minimal. This rate of reapplication generally does not cause turn-on of the device.

load, and
In a circuit with an inductive load the voltage leads the

current by some phase angle <P as shown in Fig. 3. After the
triac turns off it must block the reapplied instantaneous line
voltage of the reverse polarity. Because the triac goes from
the conducting state to the blocking state in a very short
time, this voltage is reapplied very rapidly. The turn-off of
the triac causes a rapid decay of current through the
inductance, and thus produces an Ldi/dt voltage. This rapidly
capability (VOROM) of the device. Malfunction of the device

is then caused by the inability of the triac to block the
voltage even though it can withstand the dv/dt stress. An
example of voltage ringing is shown in Fig. 7(a). Fig. 7(b)
shows the same voltage on an expanded time scale.

rising off-state voltage stress is impressed across the main
terminals of the device and can cause it to turn on. Fig. 4
illustrates this false turn-on.
A triac analog that uses two silicon controlled rectifiers
(SCR's) provides a simple understanding of how this dv/dt
causes the device to turn on. The inverse parallel SCR analog
of the triac is ,~own in Fig. 5(a), and a twotransistor analog
of the SCR is shown in Fig. 5(b). At the end of the half cycle
of on-state current conduction, some charge remains in the
bases of the equivalent transistors that comprise the conducting SCR. Upon application of the opposite-quadrant off-state
voltage, this charge flows as a recovery current. Part of this
current flows through the equivalent transistor emitter of the
adjacent SCR. In addition, some charge may already exist in
the bases of the blocking SCR because of lateral transport of
carriers from the previously conducting side. Finally, a
capacitive displacement current flows to the reverse-biased
middle junction of the blocking SCR; this displacement
current, lOIS, can be described by the following equation:

malfunction that results from commutating dv/dt

CATHODE

where CM is the capacitance of the reversebiased junction

and V is the voltage across that junction.
If the total of the three currents is sufficient to cause the
sum of the transistor gains to become unity, the device
switches on. The use of the shorted-emitter construction by
RCA shunts some of the current away and thus permits a
higher dv/dt stress to be placed across the device, but does
not eliminate the current completely. The first two current
flows are functions of device design and construction, but
the displacement current flow can be controlled by use of an
RC snubber network that limits the rate of reapplication of
off-state voltage.
The snubber network, illustrated in Fig. 6, consists of a
resistance RS and a capacitance Cs placed in series across the
main terminals of the device. For some snubber component
values and some types of load, excessive ringing can occur in
the circuit; this voltage ringing can exceed the blocking

A computer is used to calculate the voltage across the

snubber because hand calculation is time-consuming. The
magnitude and time of occurrence of the peak voltage are
found by numerical analysis, and then the values and times
of the voltages at 10 per cent and 63 per cent of peak are
calculated. These values are used to compute the dv/dt stress
as defined by the following equation:
_ V2-Vl
dv
/dt
In general, it is most desirable from a cost standpoint to

use a device with the lowest possible VDROM capability. For
applications involving the control of a load operating on a
120-volt ac line a device with a VDROM of 200 volts would
be desirable; a 400-volt device should be used for operation
on a 220-volt line. The use of the lower-voltage device in any
application is contingent on the ability of the circuit to limit
any possible voltage ringing below the VDROM rating of the
device. The snubber can be designed to limit this voltage
ringing during the post-commutation period to within this
rating. Figs. 9 and 10 show the values of Cs and RS that
limit peak voltage across the triac to specific values. Fig. 9
allows the selection of snubber components that will limit
the peak voltage of 200 volts for a zero-power-factor load at
the desired dv/dt for an rms line voltage of 120 volts. Fig. 10
shows the components that limit the voltage to 400 volts
when the rms line voltage is 220 volts.
-t2=ti
Snubber Design Procedure

For use of the graphs, three things must be known: (I)
the rms line voltage, (2) the rms load current, and (3) the
allowable dv/dt. The following procedure is used to obtain
the required snubber components:
(I) Draw a vertical line on the proper voltage graph at the
load current.
(2) At the intersection of the vertical line and the dashed line
that represents the allowable dv/dt, draw a horizontal
line to the right vertical axis. Read the value of RS from
the right vertical axis.
(3) At the intersection of the vertical line and the solid line
that represents the allowable dv/dt, draw a horizontal
line to the left vertical axis. Read the value of Cs from
the left vertical axis.
As an illustration of the above procedure. Fig. 9 is used
to find snubber component values that limit the dv/dt stress
to 5 volts per microsecond for a 40-ampere rms current in a
l20-volt rms line. From Fig. 9, these values are Rs = 340
ohm and Cs = 0.18 microfarad.
As previously stated, these graphs were developed to
limit the peak voltage for a zero-power-factor load. For the
non-ideal load the graphs are used in the same fashion; a
reduction in the peak voltage following commutation and a

slight reduction in the dv/dt stress are the only effccts
introduced by the non-ideal load. The reduction in the peak
voltage excursion is caused by the decrease in instantaneous
voltage at the time of commutation. As the power factor
increases, the phase angle between the voltage and current
decreases toward 00. This decrease in the phase angle shifts
the time of commutation
in the half-cycle toward the
zero-voltage crossing and thus reduces the instantaneous
voltage. The reduction in the dv/dt stress is the result of both
the reduction in the voltage at commutation
and the
increasing resistive impedance of the load.

case, a triac with higher dv/dt capability or higher VDROM

rating should be used. A higher dv/dt capability allows
selection of new snubber components to meet the size and/or
cost requirements of the circuit. A higher VDROM rating
permits a higher peak voltage excursion that in general will
allow selection of a smaller snubber capacitor and smaller
resistor.
The circuit analysis described in this Note assumes the
effects of the triac to be a minimum. Thus some error is
introduced by neglect of the reverse recovery process and the
displacement current. The additional current flow tends to
increase the instantaneous dv/dt during the first few
microseconds following commutation. The over-all effect is
to increase sliglllly the average dv/dt stress across the device.
This effect is most noticeable when the snubber capacitance
is less than 0.001 microfarad. Selection of a snubber for a
lower dv/dt stress limit will generally eliminate this problem.
Because the design of a snubber is contingent on the
load, it is almost impossible to simulatc and test every
possible combination under actual operating conditions. It is
advisable to measure the pcak amplitude and rate of rise of
voltage across the triac after a snubber has been selected.

A numerical example shows how a load that is not purely

inductive reduces the peak voltage after commutation. The
snubber components for 8 volts per microsecond at an rms
current of 22.7 amperes are found from Fig. 9 to be 960
ohms and 0.04 microfarad. If the load is purely inductive,
the peak voltage is limited to 200 volts. If the load has the
same current rating but a power factor of 0.7, this snubber
nctwork limits the peak voltage after commutation to 140
volts. Tlie peak voltage is reduced because the instantaneous
line voltage at the time of commutation is only 121 volts.
n,C dv/dt stress is also slightly lower than the 8-volts-permicrosecond value. n,is example demonstrates that the
dcsign graphs of Figs. 9 and 10 can be used for loads having
any power factor.

may be impractical from a cost or sizc standpoint. In such a

(The dashed lines indicate the normal relationship

deviation at start-up and turn-off should be noted.)
The three photo-coupled inputs to the three CA3059

circuits change state simultaneously in response to a "logic
command". The CA3059 circuits then provide a positive
pulse, approximately 100 microseconds in duration, only at a
zero-voltage crossing relative to their particular phase. A
balanced three-phase sensing circuit is set up with the three
CA3059 circuits each connected to a particular phase on
their common side (terminal 7) and referenced at their high
side (terminalS), through the current-limiting resistors R4,
R5, and R6, to an established artificial neutral point. This
artificial neutral point is electrically equivalent to the
inaccessible neutral point of the wye type of three-wire load
and, therefore, is used to establish the desired phase
relationships. The same artificial neutral point is also used to
establish the proper phase relationships for a delta type of
three-wire load. Because only one triac is pulsed on at a time,
the diodes (0 I, 02, and 03) are necessary to trigger the
opposite-polarity triac, and, in this way, to assure initial
latching-on of the system. The three resistors (R I, R2, and
R3) are used for current limiting of the gate drive when the
opposite-polarity triac is triggered "on" by the line voltage.
In critical applications that require suppression of all
generated RFI, the circuit shown in Fig. 6 may be used. In
addition to synchronous steady-state operating conditions.
this circuit also incorporates a zero-voltage starting circuit.
The start-up condition is zero-voltage synchronized to a
single-phase, 2-wire, line-to-line circuit, comprised of phases
A and B. The logic command engages the single-phase
"start-up" CA3059 and three-phase photo-coupled isolators
OCI3, OCI4, OCI5 through the photo-coupled isolators OCII
and OCl2. The single-phase CA3059, which is synchronized
to phases A and B, starts the system at zero voltage. As soon

Solid-State Approaches to
Cooking-Range Control
As a result of decreasing semiconductor costs, advanced

system-cost analysis by appliance manufactu'ers, and increased
consumer consciousness, various solid-state range-control designs can be applied to today's market. This Note presents
various solid-state design approaches available to the rangecontrol designer.
Design and Function Considerations
The primary areas of range control design to be considered
are the various heating elements: the oven, broiler, and top
burners. The most popular method of control of these units is
by switching relays or "infinite-switch"-type
heat-sensitive
switches. Such controls generate radio-frequency interference,
RFI, and can have limited life with respect to switching cycles
because of contact failures. In addition, the nest of wiring
usually needed to interconnect the incoming power line and the
various independent loads results in substantial labor costs and
possible substantial in-line reworking of ranges to accommodate
design changes or failures. Calibration of these controls is
generally cumbersome and time consuming because multiple
settings are usually involved. However, from the standpoint of
parts cost, the control is acceptable.
Semiconductor costs have been decreasing, and are approaching electromechanical-component
costs; however, to
justify the use of solid-state controls, cost factors other than
actual parts costs must be considered. The reliability and the
ease of handling of solid-state controls add to their dependable
operation and desirability. Dependability can be measured in
fewer in-line design corrections and possibly fewer calibrations,
and, in turn, lower manufacturing costs. Lower manufacturing
costs coupled with the ease of handling of printed circuit
boards, which eliminate the nest of wiring, represent a further
over-all system-cost reduction.
Other advantages of solid-state-control designs are manifest
in their ability to accept design change or add-on designs to
satisfy a customer's desire for improved products. For example,
the self-cleaning feature is easily incorporated in the various
oven controls; this feature is discussed in detail below.
Before any particular design approaches are discussed, a
review of some of the characteristics of the devices used is rec-
ommended. Because of the unusually high ambient temperatures that can be encountered in various areas of the range,
caution must be used in locating the semiconductors, particularly the power devices. Areas on the range that allow for the
mounting of these devices and/or their heat sinks should' be
determined by the appliance manufacturer according to temperature profiles of his enclosure.
Top-Burner Controls
As an introductory method of control, a retrofit approach to
the top-burner design where "infinite" control is used is
examined. A single-time-constant phase-control circuit is used
on each burner as the infinite control. Fig. I shows the schematic diagram of the circuit; Fig. 2 shows the various wave-

forms for the circuit. Because each heater-control circuit is

identical, an examination of one, Bj, is suflicient for an understanding of all of the circuits. Potentiometer PI, resistor R j ,
and capacitor C 1 form a 60-Hz voltage divider in which high
values of resistance for PI limit the peak voltage swing on Cj.

control of the oven temperature. The RCA CA30591 ,2 is used

Therefore, if the potentiometer is set to allow capacitor C I to

low-impedance state. This action is repeated every half cycle.
Llf and C!fare included to suppress the RFI generated by the
switching wavefront of the triac.
This type of circuit is a retrofit design, but it has several disadvantages. These disadvantages include cost, the need for RFI
fJ.1tering(a substantial part of the total cost), and the need for
considerable hand wiring, as the bulky discrete components do
not warrant printed-circuit-board mounting. However, infiniteswitch-type control of the burners is accomplished, and the
feasibility of solid-state device use in the control design is
demonstrated.
Oven/Broiler
Controls
Fig. I shows that the triac can be used to switch the burner
elements without arcing or contact bounce, but the resulting
"clean" waveform, Fig. 2, still has a high-frequency content in
the AM broadcast band. To suppress this nuisance, a costly
RFI filter must be incorporated in the design. The triac can
still be utilized, however, by using another circuit approach,
zero-voltage switching, ZYS, that can switch the heavy resistive loads with minimized RFI generation.
Zero-voltage switching is demonstrated in the oven control
circuit shown in Fig. 3. In this circuit, a sensor element is inBROILER

zero-voltage switch.
The limiter stage of the CA3059 clips the incoming ac line

voltage to approximately 8 volts. This signal is then applied to
the zero-voltage-crossing detector, which generates an output
pulse during each passage of the line voltage through zero. The
limiter output is also applied to a rectifying diode and an external capacitor that comprise the dc power supply. The power
supply provides approximately 6 volts, as the YCC supply, to
the other stages of the CA3059. The on/off sensing amplifier is
basically a differential comparator. The triac gating circuit contains a driver for direct triac triggering. The gating circuit is
enabled when all the inputs are at a high voltage; i.e., the line
voltage must be approximately zero volts, the sensing-amplifier
output must be high, the external voltage to terminal I must be
a logical I, and the output of the fail-safe circuit must be high.
Fig. 5 shows the circuit diagram of the CA3059. The zerovoltage threshold detector consists of diodes D3, D4' D5, and
D6, and transistor Q I' The differential amplifier consists of
transistor-pairs Q2-Q4 and Q3-Q5' Transistors QI, Q6' Q7'
Q8' and Q9 comprise the triac gating circuit and driver stage.
Diode D 12, zener-diode D 15, and transistor Q I 0 constitute the
fail-safe circuit. The power supply consists of diodes D7 and
D 13 and an external resistor and capacitor connect~d to terminals 5 and 2, respectively, and to ground through pin 7. If
transistor pair Q2-Q4 and transistor QI are turned off, an
output appears at terminal 4. Transistor QI is in the off state if
the incoming line voltage is less than approximately the sum of
the voltage drops across three silicon diodes (2.1 volts) for
either the positive or negative excursion of the line voltage.
Transistor pair Q2-Q4 is off if the voltage across the sensor,
connected from terminals 13 to 7, exceeds the reference voltage
from 9 to 7. If either of these conditions is not satisfied, pulses
are not supplied to terminal 4. Fail-safe operation requires that
terminal 13 be connected to terminal 14. The addition of

hysteresis and the elimination of half-cycling can be achieved

by a resistive voltage divider connected from terminals 13 to 8
and from 8 to 7.
As shown in Fig. 3, the temperature of the oven can be adjusted by means of PI, which acts, along with the sensor, as a
voltage divider at terminal 13. The voltage at terminal 13 is
compared to the fixed bias at terminal 9 which is set by internal resistors R4 and RS' When the oven is cold and the resistance of the sensor is high, Q2 and Q4 are off, a pulse of

gate current is applied to the triac, and heat is applied to the

oven. Conversely, as the desired temperature is reached, the
bias at terminal 13 turns the triac off. The closed-loop feature
then cycles the oven element on and off to maintain the desired
temperature to approximately 20C of the set value. Also, as
has been noted, external resistors between terminals 13 and 8,
and 7 and 8, can be used to vary this temperature and provide
hysteresis. In Fig. 6, a circuit that provides approximately
I O-per-cent hysteresis is demonstrated.

In addition to allowing the selection of a hysteresis value,

the flexibility of the control circuit permits incorporation of
other features. A PTC sensor is readily used by interchanging
terminals 9 and 13 of Fig. 3 and substituting the PTC for the
NTC sensor. Note that in both cases the sensor element is
directly returned to the system ground or common, as is often
desired. Terminals 9, 10, and II, Fig. 3, can be connected by
external resistors to provide for a variety of biasing, e.g., to
match a lower-resistance sensor for which the switching point
voltage has been reduced to maintain the same sensor current.
To accommodate the self-cleaning feature, external switching, which enables both broiler and oven units to be paralleled,
can easily be incorporated in the design. Of course, the potentiometer must be capable of a setting such that the sensor,
which must be characterized for the high, self-clean temperature, can monitor and establish control of the high-temperature,
self-clean mode. The ease with which this self-clean mode can
be added makes the over-all solid-state system cost-competitive
with electromechanical systems of comparable capability. In
addition, the system incorporates solid-state reliability while
being neater, more easily calibrated, and containing less-costly
system wiring.
state, the load is energized. When the temperature of the PTC

sensor increases to the desired temperature, the sensor enters
the high resistance state, the voltage on terminal 2 becomes
greater than that on terminal 3, and the triac switches the load
off. Further cycling depends on the voltage across the sensor.
Hence, very low values of sensor and potentiometer resistance
can be used in conjunction with the CA3059 power supply
without causing adverse loading effects and impairing system
performance.
Low-Resistance Sensor
The circuit of Fig. 3 performs well with sensor values in the
5- to I O-kilohm range, and is used widely in home comfort controls. Although PTC sensors rated at 5 kilohms are available,
the existing sensors in ovens are usually of a much lower value.
The circuit depicted in Fig. 7 is offered to accommodate these
Proportional Zero-Voltage Switching
Zero-voltage switching control can be extended to applications in which it is desirable to have constant contrel of the
temperature and a minimization of system hysteresis. A closedloop top-burner control in which the temperature of the
cooking utensil is sensed and maintained at a particular value
is a good example of such an application; the circuit for this
control is shown in Fig. 9. In the circuit, a unijunction oscillator is outboarded from the basic control by means of the
internal power supply of the RCA CA3079. The output of this
ramp generator is applied to terminal 9 of the CA3079 and
establishes a varied reference to the differential amplifier.

RCA CA3080, the operational transconductance amplifier used
in Fig. 7, is shown in Fig. 83 With an amplifier bias current,
IABC, of 100 microamperes, a forward transconductance of 2
millimhos is achieved in this configuration. The CA3080
switches when the voltage at terminal 2 exceeds the voltage at
terminal 3. This action allows the sink current, Is, to flow from
terminal 13 of the CA3059 (the input impedance to terminal
13 of the CA3059 is approximately 50 kilohms); gate pulses

the ramp should be shorter than the thermal time constant of
the system but longer than the period of the 60-Hzline. Fig. 10,
which contains various waveforms for the system of Fig. 9,
indicates that a typical variance of O.SoC might be expected
at the sensor contact to the utensil. Overshoot of the set temperature is minimized with this approach, and scorching of
any type is minimized.
Central-Processor
Since the phase-control top-burner arrangement of Fig. I
requires excessive handling in construction and does not lend
itself to printed-circuit-board construction, it is recommended
that a more compact, less expensive, total printed-circuit-board
approach to the range control be investigated. Further, in order
to cut system costs, it is recommended that similar circuit
functions be multiplexed or shared as much as possible in one
area in the circuit. A design that meets these requirements is
shown in the block diagram of Fig. I J and the schematic

Figs. 13 and 14.
The RCA CD4013A consists of two identical independent

data-type flip-flops. Each flip-flop has independent data, set,
reset, and clock inputs and Q and Q outputs. These devices can
be used for shift-register applications and, by connecting the Q
output to the data input, for counter and toggle applications.
The logic level present at the D input is transferred to the Q
output during the positive-going transition of the clock pulse.
Setting or resetting is independent of the clock and is accomplished by a high level on the set or reset line, respectively.
The CD4015A consists of two identical independent fourstage serial-input/parallel-output
registers. Each register has

independent clock and reset inputs as well as a single serial

stages on both registers. All register stages are D-type masterslave flip-flops. The logic level present at the data input is
transferred into the first register stage and shifted over one
stage at each positive-going clock transition. Resetting of all
stages is accomplished by a high level on the reset line. Register
expansion to eight stages using one CD4015A package, or to
more than eight stages using additional CD40 l5A's, is possible.

result when clocking pulses are applied from the clock stage, a
simple RC diac oscillator (60 Hz). The outputs of the
COS/MOS register are fed to the eight-position rotary-selector
switch for selection of the duty cycle to be applied to the load.
The output of the rotary switch is connected to the drive
triacs through the Darlington-connected
triac gate drivers.
These drivers are made up of pairs of transistors from the RCA
CA3082, a seven-transistor, high-current (100 milliamperes),
silicon, n-p-n array. The bases of the input transistors of the
Darlington drivers are all connected to the collector of Q I,
the zero-vol tage sensing transistor, so that triac gate-drive
pulses are applied only when the ac line voltage is approximately
2.1-volts peak. That is, base drive shunted from the Darlington
drivers by Q I causes zero-voltage switching of the triacs and
restricts the average power drain of the dc supply by pulsing
the triac gates. This circuit arrangement results in minimized
RFI. Fig. 16 demonstrates the power waveforms for the circuit
of Fig. 12. Fig. 17 demonstrates the effect of the zero-voltage

sensing transistor, Q I, and the relationship between the various
CaS/MaS outputs and the base drive and subsequent gate
drive of the Darlington drivers. By using an additional selector
switch, triac, and related gate circuitry (made up of spare transistors in the CA3082) a controllable convenience outlet can be
provided. This outlet can be used for an electric fry-pan,

in the same manner as the top-burner elements.
An oven control is incorporated in the design by using an
RCA CA3086, an array of five n-p-n transistors with one pair
differentially-connected
as a Schmitt trigger in closed-loop
configuration. Again, the common de supply of the system is
used in addition to the zero-voltage sensing transistor, Q I. An
additional Darlington pair available in the CA3082 is used for
triac gating. As shown in Fig. 12, an NTC sensor, TH I , forms a
voltage divider with the potentiometer, Pl. the temperatureselector switch. The input transistor of the Schmitt trigger is a
Darlington pair to provide sensitivity. Resistor R8 is chosen to
allow for the desired amount of circuit hysteresis. When the
sensor is cold and has a large resistance, the Darlington input
is turned on and causes output transistor Q I to turn off. The
VCC fed to the zero-voltage sensing transistor and respective
gate drive switches the oven on. As the desired oven temperature is reached, the sensor resistance decreases and the voltage
it controls drops below the SWitching threshold of the Schmitt

trigger; this drop in voltage removes the gate drive to the oven.
A PTC sensor could easily be used by inverting the sensor and
potentiometer. Of course, with proper external switching of
the oven elements and the incorporation of a fixed resistor to
bias the Schmitt trigger to the high temperature of the selfcleaning mode, self-cleaning action can be accommodated by
this system. Care must be taken, particularly with the location
of the power triac for the oven, to afford the best possible
ambient temperature conditions and heat sinking.
Conclusions
With the circuitry of Fig. 12, control of the temperature of
the top burners is provided without the need for calibration of
a sensor element, and the design is well suited for printedcircuit-board-module use. Extension of the circuit concept
could lead to a future hybrid design incorporating custom chips.
The nest of wiring which is now present in ranges is minimized
by the use of the printed-circuit board. Zero-voltage switching
of the power elements results in minimized RFI, while the
single calibration between PI and TH I or an auxiliary calibration potentiometer is the only calibration necessary in the
oven control. These concepts should lead to easier manufacture
with limited in-line failures, because the printed-circuit-board
modules could be tested before assembly into the range, and
lower manufacturing costs because of the decreased amount of
wiring. The history of solid-state dependability should also be
reflected in the low amount of field failures.

Power Switching Using

Solid-State Relay
Solid-state relays make use of a semiconductor device for control

of ac or de power. Since, in most ac applications, the semiconductor
element chosen for power control is the triac. this Note describes the
triac as a power-switching element. Advantages and disadvantages of
the active element over the electro-mechanical relay are discussed in
general terms.
Basic parameters. such as surge in-rush capability.
transient-voltage ratings, suppression network, turn-off consideration
and the different modes of triac gating are also discussed. AC power
control is covered by various circuit designs for ON/OFF control.
zero-voltage switching, and line-voltage isolation.
Power switching using electromechanical relays (EMR) is probably as old as the electrical industry is. The EMR is a controlled device having either an ON state or an OFF state capable of handling
large amounts of power for a relatively low input power; it has widespread use in power and logic circuits. The relay comes in many
forms (general purpose, telephone type, TO-S. reed. mercury wetted.
etc.) and has various contact configurations.
During the past few
years, the EMR has been challenged by a new breed of relay which
has no moving parts, is capable of handling large amounts of power
for relatively low input power, and that comes in many package and
circuit configurations.
This new breed has been dubbed the "SolidState Relay" or SSR, and uses transistors for dc power-control or
triacs for ac power control. The SSR is particularly useful in areas
in which increased reliability is required, and in which shock or
mechanical fatigue impose severe limitations on the electromechanical relay. The major limitations to SSR use are economic factors. line
isolation, immunity from line transients, and the need for multiplepole arrangements.
Thyristors (silicon controlled rectifiers and triacs) are semiconductor switches whose bistable state depends upon the regenerative feedback associated with a p-n-p-n structure. The SCR is a unidirectional device used primarily for dc and ac functions. whereas the
triac is a bidirectional device used primarily for control of ac power.

completed triac and dimensions of three devices now available or in
the design stage.
The effects of voltage and temperature are important in thyristors

because of the regenerative action of these devices, and because they
Another important parameter associated with a triac is its di/dt

rating, a parameter most significant during turn-on. With the initiation of a gate signal, the active area closest to the gate region is,
essentially, turned on, and, for a few microseconds, the instantaneous power dissipation is a function of the rate of rise of the onstate current. This power dissipation may cause localized heating and
result in silicon-lattice destruction and triac degradation. The di/dt
ratings are a function of triac geometry and pellet size, and ratings of
100 Alps are easily achieved. In most circuit applications, stray or
actual-load inductance is present, and for the condition of di/dt =
Epk/L, it is easily seen that a few microhenries of inductance are all
that are required to limit circuit di/dt to within the maximum rating.
When di/dt ratings are exceeded, it is usually because of the RC
snubber network in parallel with the triac. In such networks, stray
inductance is essentially zero, and the magnitude of discharge current
is limited by the snubber resistance. The di/dt in the snubber is not
affected by the inductance added to quell the di/dt caused by the
stray or actual-load inductance: only careful selection of RC-snubbernetwork components will eliminate this second source of di/dt and
minimize triac failures.
It is well known that triacs are susceptible to non-gated turn-on

and possible damage as a result of transient voltages. Transients are
generally caused in a triac by the switching of inductive loads on adjacent lines or in proximity to the device. If the transient voltage
gcnerated exceeds the critical rate*of-rise of the off-state voltage
(dv/dt) then a displacement current (i = Cdv/dt) is generated which
causes non-gated turn-on. Non-gatcd turn-on is not destructive if the
energy transfer is within the maximum rating of the device; however,
if the transient voltage does not exceed the off-state dv/dt rating, but
does exceed the maximum voltage rating, then triac breakover
occurs. Whether triac degradation occurs is dependent on whether
the energy transfer is within the bulk silicon or the edge avalance.
Although the transient-voltage problem may seem critical, there
are precautions that can be taken to minimize it. The use of RC
snubbers in parallel with the triac can reduce the rate of imposed
transients.
This arrangement is most effective for fast rising, shortduration line disturbances.
For critical applications. the use of a
voltage-clipping device in addition to an RC snubber effectively
suppresses both the rate of rise and magnitude of line-generated
transients.
are often required to support high voltages under high temperature

conditions. The imposed voltages create a field at the junction interface, and the increased temperature releases additional surface ions.
Should the field concentrate the additional surface charge and allow
it to migrate into the gate region. non-gated turn-on may occur. Most
manufacturers realize that the gate region must be terminated for
high voltage/temperature
operation, and a shunt resistance is built
into the triac pellet during fabrication. This shunt reduces the immunity of the triac to non-gated turn-on. Additional reliability can
be gained by operating the triac under less severe voltage/temperature
conditions.
Another type of transient particularly prevalent in the area of

inductive loads. and often overlooked, is the circuit-induced transient.
Consider an inductive load in series with a triac and RC snubber network which also includes a switch for line-voltage interruption. With
thc triac in the off state. a leakage current nows which is a function
of the characteristics of the load, the RC snubber network, and triac
leakage. If the switch is momentarily opened when the triac is off,
thcn a voltage transient (E = Ldi/dt) is generated which can exceed
the voltage rating of the triac, cause non-gated turn-on and abrupt
cnergy transfer: and may result in damage to the triac. Again, the
proper selection of RC-network components and voltage-clipping device will suppress the circuit-induced transient to a level compatible
with the voltage rating of the triac.
One of the features that has made thyristors the work-horses of the
power semiconductor industry is their ability to absorb in-rush currents many times in excess of their steady-state ratings. This unique
feature results from the regenerative action of the thyristor, an action
which maintains the internal beta at a level such that. under in-rush
conditions, the charge density is equally distributed over the entire
triac pellet. The equal charge distribution assures the presentation of
a low impedance to the in-rush current. Each manufacturer clearly
rates device surge capability from single cycle to multiple cycles.
Since this rating cannot be exceeded repeatedly. care should be
exercised in the actual application to provide a sufficient safety
margin between the published ratings and the actual circuit in-rush
currents.
The term "turn-off time" is not associated with triacs since triacs
arc bidirectional, and reverse voltage is nothing more than a forward
voltage to one-half of the triac chip. A new term, "critical-rate-ofrise-of-coml1lutation-voltage",
is used with triacs. The term describes
the ability of the triac to turn off as the current passes through zero,
or com mutates. One must remember that the triac is a current-dependent device: current is injected into the gate to turn the device
on, and current must be removed or allowed to pass through zero for
turn-off regardless of what the source-voltage poLarity is. Commutating dv/dt is less critical with resistive loads and most important
with inductive loads. Consider an inductive load in which the load
current lags the source voltage by a phase angle O. As pointed out,
triac commutation occurs at zero current, whereas the source voltage

has some magnitude E. As the load current crosses the zero point,
a small reverse current is established as a result of the charge in the
n-type region. This charge, plus a displacement current (i = C'dv/dt)
resulting from the reapplied source voltage, can cause the triac to turn
on in the absence of a proper gate signal. A minimum commutating
dv/dt at rated current and at a specific operating case temperature
should be defined in all triac applications; the circuit designer can use
these specifications to choose an RC snubber network that will limit
the reapplied dv/dt to within ratings. Loss of triac control as a result
of commutating dv/dt does not degrade the characteristics of the
triac. Proper RC snubber network selections for worst-case conditions of load power factor, current, and voltage are easily made by
use of the charts shown in Fig.3.
power control. A comparison of SSR's with electromechanical

is given below.
relays
Life: An EMR physically makes and breaks load current, and the
relay contacts deteriorate with life.
SSR's: They have no moving parts, and may be designed to make
and break at zero current. Regardless of the design, the triac always breaks at zero current.
Contact Bounce: Inherent with an EMR - zero for SSR's.
RFI: Inherent with EMR's - dependent on SSR design.
AFI: ("audio-frequency"
interference). Terrible with EMR's, particularly when many relays are clacking about. Not noticeable
with SSR's.
Environment:
High humidity, corrosion, and explosive atmospheres usually dictates a sealed relay. SSR's may easily be polled.
Shock: The SSR is far supelior.
Input Logic: EMR's can be operated from low-level logic. SSR's
are design dependent, but offer complete versatility.
A simple triac control circuit, an ON/OFF circuit,

is shown in
Fig.4. With switch S I open, the triac is off and essentially zero current is applied to the load. Actually, there will be leakage-current
flow to the load; the amount of current is dependent on the applied
voltage and triac case temperature.
However, because the current is
very small (less than one milliampere) compared to'the load current,
it can be neglected in this and the following circuits. (In specific
applications in which leakage current may affect control it would
have to be considered.)

Before the advantages of SSR's are discussed, the types available

should be reviewed.
Two types of SSR are available: all solid-state and hybrids. The
solid-state class employs solid-state devices for both logic and triac
gating,
Hybrids generaHy use a reed relay for triac gating for ac
power control and so combine the electromechanical
with solid
state. In either class, the triac is used as the solid-state element for ac
To apply power to the load in Fig.4. switch S I is closed to provide

gate drive to the triac. Bias-resistor R I is of the order of 68 to 100
ohms and provides the initial gate drive during every half cycle of
applied voltage. The power consumption of R I is very low 0/4 to
1/2 watt), because, when the triac is in the ON state, R I is in parallel
with the ON-state voltage of approximately 1.5 volts. This method
of triac triggering, calleq anode firing, is an effective way of triggering
because it uses the source voltage as a .source of gate-current drive.
Maximum gate current is available for triac turn-on at peak line voltage until the device goes to the low-impedance state. In this state
the current in R I is reduced by the forward voltage drop. In effect,
bias resistor R 1 is utilized only during the initial turn-on of the triac,
or for approximately two microseconds.
In a typical application,
switch S I would be replaced by a relay, and power control would be
transferred by means of low-level-current relay contacts.
For control applications which require that variable power be delivered to a load, an inexpensive RC phase-control circuit is best.
Fig.S shows the basic triac-diac control circuit with the triac connected in series with the load. During the beginning of each half cycle
may be used with an ON/OFF-type control or as a proportional control depending on the degree of regulation required. A simple, inexpensive, ON/OFF temperature controller is shown in Fig.7; a review
of the functional block diagram of the zero-voltage-switch, Fig.6, will
help in understanding the circuit. For every zero-voltage crossing,
a zero crossing pulse is generated and directed to the triac gating circuit. If there is a demand for heat, the differential amplifier is in the
open state, the triac gating circuit is open, and the triac is turned on
at every zero-voltage crossing. When the demand for heat is satisfied, the differential amplifier is in the closed state; this inhibits the
triac gating circuit and removes any further gate drive to the triac.
Therefore, the key to the operation of this circuit is in the state of
the differential amplifier. One side of the differential amplifier is
biased to a reference voltage VR, and the other side is biased to a
voltage Vs which is dependent on a variable potentiometer setting
and sensing resistor. As a result, whenever the bias voltage VS ex
ceeds the reference voltage VR, the gating circuit is open and the
triac is turned on for each zero-voltage crossing.
The characteristics of an ON/OFF controller are well known; i.e., there are significant thermal overshoots and undershoots which result in a dif ..
the triac is in the OFF state; as a result. the entire line voltage is impressed across it. Because the triac is in parallel with the potentiometer and capacitor, the voltage across the triac drives the current
through the potentiometer
and charges the capacitor.
When the
capacitor voltage reaches the breakover voltage of the diac, VSO,
the capacitor discharges through the triac gate and turns it on. The
line voltage is then transferred from the triac to the load for the remainder df that half cycle. This sequence is repeated for every half
cycle of either polarity.
If the potentiometer resistance is reduced,
the capacitor charges more rapidly. the VBO of tile diac is reached
earlier in the cycle, and the power applied to the load is increased.
If the potentiometer
resistance is increased, triggering occurs later
and load power is reduced. The main disadvantage of this circuit is
that it produces RFI.

ferentiJI temperature above and below the reference temperature.

The magnitude of the differential temperature is dependent on the
mass of the heater and the time constant of the sensing element.
For precise temperature control, the technique of proportional
control with synchronous switching is introduced. The proportional
control differs from the ON/OFF control in that it allows a specified
percentage of power (duty cycle) to be supplied to the load with a
finite off time that. in turn, allows the heating element to "catch up"
as a result of thermal lag. In effect. this scheme provides "anticipator control."
Again, the key to circuit operation is in the state of
the differential amplifier.
The design engineer often must provide dcto-ac isolation. Complete isolation can be achieved by reed relays, pulse transformers, 'and
light-activated devices.
Selection of anyone
of these three approaches depends on the dc logic design and component economics.
Fig.8 (a) shows a reed relay and transistor drive circuit which is effective in triac gating, although it does have moving parts. Fig.8 (b)
uses a pulse transformer for isolation, and requires a form of clock
pulse that can be transferred to the triac gate. In some applications,
clock pulses may already be available; therefore the pulse-transformer
approach is economical.
This approach requires more components
than that of Fig.8 (a), but it has no moving parts. The last approach,

satisfactorily not only in normal applications, but also in severe
physical and electrical environments.
The triac has already proven
to be a true power-semiconductor
device, and is widely used in both
commercial and industrial applications; restrictions on triac use in
military applications, particularly in 400-Hz power systems, are
gradually being lifted. It is inevitable, then, that the triac will evolve
as the basic building block for ac power control in power-controller
systems.

Features and Applications of

RCA Integrated-Circuit Zero-Voltage Switches
(CA3058, CA3059, and CA3079)
RCA-CA3058, CA3059 and CA3079 zero-voltage switches

are monolithic integrated circuits designed primarily for use as
trigger circuits for thyristors in many highly diverse ac
power-control
and power-switching
applications.
These
integrated-circuit switches operate from an ac input voltage of
24, 120,208 to 230, or 277 volts at 50,60, or 400 Hz.
The CA3059 and CA3079 are supplied in a 14terminal
dual-in-line plastic package. The CA3058 is supplied in a
14-terminal dual-in-line ceramic package. The electrical and
physical characteristics of each type are detailed in RCA Data
Bulletin File No. 490.
RCA zero-voltage switches (ZVS) are particularly well
suited for use as thyristor trigger circuits. These switches
trigger the thyristors
at zero-voltage points in the
supply-voltage cycle. Consequently, transient load-current
surges and radio-frequency interference (RFI) are substantially
reduced. In addition, use of the zero-voltage switches also
reduces the rate of change of on-state current (di/dt) in the
thyristor being triggered, an important consideration in the
operation of thyristors. These switches can be adapted for use
in a variety of control functions by use of an internal
differential comparator to detect the difference between two
externally developed voltages. In addition, the availability of
numerous terminal connections to internal circuit points
greatly increases circuit flexibility and further expands the
types of ac power-control applications to which these
integrated circuits may be adapted. The excellent versatility of
the zero-voltage switches is demonstrated by the fact that
these circuits have been used to prOVide transient-free
temperature
control in self-cleaning ovens, to control
gun.muzzle temperature in low-temperature environments, to
prOVide sequential switching of heating elements in warm-air
furnaces, to switch traffic signal lights at street intersections,
and to effect other widely different ac powercontrol
functions.
RCA zero-voltage switches are multistage circuits that

employ a diode limiter, a zero-crossing (threshold) detector, an
on-off sensing amplifier (differential comparator), and a

Darlington output driver (thyristor gating circuit) to provide
the basic switching action. The dc operating voltages for these
stages is provided by an internal power supply that has
sufficient current capability to drive external circuit elements,
such as transistors and other integrated circuits. An important
feature of the zero-voltage switches is that the output trigger
pulses can be applied directly to the gate of a triac or a silicon
controlled rectifier (SCR). The CA3058 and CA3059 also
feature an interlock (protection) circuit that inhibits the
application of these pulses to the thyristor in the event that
the external sensor should be inadvertently opened or shorted.
An external inhibit connection (terminal No. I) is also
available so that an external signal can be used to inhibit the
output drive. This feature is not included in the CA3079;
otherwise, the three integratedcircuit zero-voltage switches are
electrically identical.
Over-all Circuit
Operation
Fig. I shows the functional interrelation of the zero-voltage

switch, the external sensor, th~ thyristor being triggered, and
the load elements in an on-off type of ac power-control
system. As shown, each of the zero-voltage switches
incorporates four functional blocks as follows:
(I) Limiter-Power Supply - Permits operation
directly
from an ac line.
(2) Differential On/Off Sensing Amplifier - Tests the
condition of external sensors or command signals. Hysteresis
or proportional-control capability may easily be implemented
in this section.
(3) Zero-Crossing Detector - Synchronizes
the output
pulses of the circuit at the time when the ac cycle is at a
zero-voltage point and thereby eliminates radio-frequency
inteference (RFI) when used with resistive loads.
(4) Triac Gating Circuit - Provides high-current pulses to
the gate of the power-controlling thyristor.
In addition, the CA3058 and CA3059 prOVide the following
important aUXiliary functions (shown in Fig. I):

override is accomplished by connecting terminal 12 to
terminal 7. Gate current to the thyristor is continuous when
terminal 13 is positive with respect to terminal 9.

integrated-circuit zero-voltage switches. (The diagrams shown
in Figs. I and 2 are representative of all three RCA
zero-voltage switches, i.e., the CA3058, CA3059, and CA3079;

The limiter stage of the zero-voltage switch clips the

incoming ac line voltage to approximately 8 volts. This signal
is then applied to the zero-voltage-cro-ssing detector, which
generates an output pulse each time the line voltage passes
through zero. The limiter output is also applied to a rectifying
diode and an external capacitor, CF, that comprise the dc
power supply. The power supply prOVides approximately
6 volts as the VCC supply to the other stages of the
zero-voltage switch. The on-off sensing amplifier is basically a
differential comparator. The thyristor gating circuit contains a
driver for direct triac triggering. The gating circuit is enabled
when all the inputs are at a "high" voltage, i.e., the line voltage
must be approximately zero volts, the sensing-amplifier output
must be "high," the external voltage to terminal J must be a
logical "0", and, for the CA3058 and CA3059, the output of
the fail-safe circuit must be "high." Under these conditions,
the thyristor (triac or SCR) is triggered when the line voltage is
essentially zero volts.

Thyristor Triggering Circuits

The diodes 0 I and 02 in Fig. 2 form a symmetrical clamp
that limits the voltages on the chip to 8 volts; the diodes 07
and 013 form a half-wave rectifier that develops a positive
voltage on the external storage capacitor, CF.
shown in Fig. I, therefore, the output is a narrow pulse which

is approximately centered about the zero-voltage time in the
cycle, as shown in Fig. 3. In some applications, however,
The output pulses used to trigger the power-switching

thyristor are actually developed by the zero-crossing detector
and the thyristor gating circuit. The zero-crossing detector
consists of diodes 03 through 06, transistor Q I, and the
associated resistors shown in Fig. 2. Transistors QI and Q6
through Q9 and the associated resistors comprise the thyristor
gating circuit and output driver. These circuits generate the
output pulses when the ac input is at a zero-voltage point so
that RFI is virtually eliminated when the zero-voltage switch
and thyristor are used with resistive loads.
The operation of the zero-crossing detector and thyristor
gating circuit can be explained more easily if the on state (i.e.,
the operating state in which current is being delivered to the
thyristor gate through terminal 4) is considered as the
operating condition of the gating circuit. Other circuit
elements in the zero-voltage switch inhibit the gating circuit
unless certain conditions are met, as explained later.
In the on state of the thyristor gating circuit, transistors Qs
and Q9 are conducting, transistor Q7 is off, and transistor Q6
is on. Any action that turns on transistor Q7 removes the drive
from transistor Qs and thereby turns off the thyristor.
Transistor Q7 may be turned on directly by application of a
minimum
of 1.2 volts at 10 microamperes
to the
external-inhibit input, terminal I. (If a voltage of more than
1.5 volts is available, an external resistance must be added in
series with terminal I to limit the current to I milliampere.)
Diode 010 isolates the base of transistor Q7 from other signals
when an external-inhibit signal is applied so that this signal is
the highest priority command for normal operation. (Although
grounding of terminal6
creates a higher-priority inhibit
function, this level is not compatible with normal OTL or TTL
logic levels.) Transistor Q7 may also be activated by turning
off transistor Q6 to allow current flow from the power supply
through resistor R7 and diode 010 into the base of Q7
Transistor Q6 is normally maintained in conduction by current
that flows into its base through resistor R2 and diodes Os and
09 when transistor Q I is off.
Transistor Q I is a portion of the zero-crossing detector.
When the voltage at terminal 5 is greater than +3 volts, current
can flow through resistor R I, diode 06, the base-to-emitter
junction of transistor QI, and diode 04 to terminal 7 to turn
on QI. This action inhibits the delivery of a gate-drive output
signal at terminal 4. For negative voltages at terminal 5 that
have magnitudes greater than 3 volts, the current flows
through diode Os, the emitter-to-base junction of transistor
QI, diode 03, and resistor R1, and again turns on transistor
QI. Transistor QI is off only when the voltage at terminal 5 is
less than the threshold voltage of approximately 2 volts.
When the integrated-circuit zero-voltage switch is connected as
The latching cunent is the minimum current required to sustain
conduction immediately after the thyristor is switched from the off
to the on state and the gate signal is removed.
particularly those that use either slightly inductive or

low-power loads, the thyristor load current does not reach the
latching-current value* by the end of this pulse. An external
capacitor Cx connected between terminal 5 and 7, as shown in
Fig. 4, can be used to delay the pulse to accommodate such
loads. The amount of pulse stretching and delay is shown in
Figs. 5(a) and 5(b).
Continuous gate current can be obtained if terminal 12 is

connected to terminal 7 to disable the zero-crossing detector.
In this mode, transistor Q 1 is always off. This mode of
operation is useful when comparator operation is desired or
when inductive loads must be switched. (If the capacitance in
the load circuit is low, most RFI is eliminated.) Care must be
taken to avoid overloading of the internal power supply in this
mode. A sensitive-gate thyristor should be used, anda resistor
should be placed between terminal 4 and the gate of the
thyristor to limit the current, as pointed out later under
Special Application Considerations.
Fig. 6 indicates the timing relationship between the line
voltage and the zero-voltage- switch output pulses. At 60 Hz,
the pulse is typically lOa microseconds wide; at 400 Hz, the
pulse width is typically 12 microseconds. In the basic circuit
shown, when the de logic signal is "high", the output is
disabled; when it is "low", the gate pulses are enabled.

In the circuit shown in Fig. I, the voltage at terminal 9 is

derived from the supply by connection of terminals 10 and II
to form a precision voltage divider. This divider forms one side
of a transducer bridge, and the potentiometer Rp and the
negative-tern perature-coefficient (NTC) sensor form the other
side. At low temperatures, the high resistance of the sensor
causes terminal 13 to be positive with respect to terminal 9 so
that the thyristor fires on every half-cycle, and power is
applied to the load. As the temperature increases, the sensor
resistance decreases until a balance is reached, and V 13
approaches V 9. At this point, the transistor pair Q2 -Q4 turns
on and inhibits any further pulses. The controlled temperature
is adjusted by variation of the value of the potentiometer Rp.
For cooling service, either the positions of Rp and the sensor
may be reversed or terminals 9 and 13 may be interchanged.

On-Off Sensing Amplifier

The discussion thus far has considered only cases in which
pulses are present all the time or not at all. The differential
sense amplifier consisting of transistors Q2, Q3, Q4, and Qs
(shown in Fig. 2) makes the zero-voltage switch a flexible
power-control circuit. The transistor pairs Q2-Q4 and Q3-QS
form a high-beta composite p-n-p transistors in which the
emitters of transistors Q4 and Qs act as the collectors of the
composite devices. These two composite transistors are
connected as a differential amplifier with resistor R3 acting as
a constant-current source. The relative current flow in the two
"collectors" is a function of the difference in voltage between
the bases of transistors Q2 and Q3. Therefore, when
terminal 13 is more positive than terminal 9, little or no
current flows in the "collector" of the transistor pair Q2-Q4.
When terminal 13 is negative with respect to terminal 9, most
of the current flows through that path, and none in terminal 8.
When current flows in the transistor pair Q2-Q4, the path is
from the supply through R3, through the transistor pair
Q2 -Q4, through the base-emitter junction of transistor QI , and
finally through the diode D4 to terminal 7. Therefore, when
VI3 is equal to or more negative than V9, transistor QI is on,
and the output is inhibited.

The low bias current of the sensing amplifier permits

operation with sensor impedances of up to 0.1 megohm at
balance without introduction of substantial error (i.e., greater
than 5 per cent). The error may be reduced if the internal
bridge elements, resistors ~ and RS, are not used, but are
replaced with resistances which equal the sensor impedance.
The minimum value of sensor impedance is restricted by the
currellt drain on the internal power supply. Operation of the
zero-voltage switch with low-impedance sensors is discussed
later under Special Application Considerations. The voltage
applied to terminal 13 must be greater than 1.8 volts at all
times to assure proper operation.
Protection Circuit
A special feature of the CA3058 and CA3059 zero-voltage
switches is the inclusion of an interlock type of circuit. This
circuit removes power from the load by interrupting the
thyristor gate drive if the sensor either shorts or opens.
However, use of this circuit places certain constraints upon the
user. Specifically, effective protection-circuit
operation is
dependent upon the following conditions:
(I) The circuit configuration of Fig. I is used, with an
internal supply, no external load on the supply, and
terminal 14 connected to terminal 13.
(2) The value of potentiometer Rp and of the sensor
resistance must be between 2000 ohms and 0.1 megohm.
(3) The ratio of sensor resistance and Rp must be greater
than 0.33 and less than 3.0 for all normal conditions. (If either
of these ratios is not met with an unmodified sensor, a series
resistor or a shunt resistor must be added to avoid undesired
activation of the circuit.)
The protective feature may be applied to other systems
when operation of the circuit is understood. The protection
circuit consists of diodes D 12 and D 15 and transistor Q 1o
Diode D12 activates the protection circuit if the sensor shown
in Fig. I shorts or its resistance drops too low in value, as
follows: Transistor Q6 is on during an output pulse so that the
junction
of diodes Ds and D 12 is 3 diode drops
(approximately 2 volts) above terminal 7. As long as V14 is
more positive or only 0.15 volt negative with respect to that
point, diode D12 does not conduct, and the circuit operates
normally. If the voltage at terminal 14 drops to I volt, the
anode of diode DS can have a potential of only 1.6 to
1.7 volts, and current does not flow through diodes DS and D9
and transistor Q6' The thyristor then turns off.
The actual threshold is approximately 1.2 volts at room
temperature, but decreases 4 millivolts per degree C at higher
temperatures. As the sensor resistance increases, the voltage at
terminal 14 rises toward the supply voltage. At a voltage of
approXimately 6 volts, the zener diode D 15 breaks down and
turns on transistor Q 10, which then turns off transistor Q6
and the thyristor. If the supply voltage is not at least 0.2 volt
more positive than the breakdown voltage of diode D 15,
activation of the protection circuit is not possible. For this
reason, loading the internal supply may cause this circuit to
malfunction, as may selection of the wrong external supply
voltage. Fig. 7 shows a gUide for the proper operation of the
protection circuit when an external supply is used with a
typical integrated-circuit zero-voltage switch.
SPECIAL APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
As pointed out previously, the RCA integrated-circuit
zero-voltage switches (CA3058, CA3059, and CA3079) are
exceptionally versatile units that can be adapted for use in a
wide-variety of power-control applications. Full advantage of
this versatility can be realized, however, only if the user has a
basic understanding of several fundamental considerations that
apply to certain types of applications of the zero-voltage
switches.
Operating-Power Options
Power to the zero-voltage switch may be derived directly
from the ac line, as shown in Fig. I, or from an external dc
power supply connected between terminals 2 and 7, as shown
in Fig. 8. When the zero-voltage switch is operated directly
from the ac line, a dropping resistor RS of 5,000 to
10,000 ohms must be connected in series with terminal 5 to
limit the current in the switch circuit. The optimum value for
this resistor is a function of the average current drawn from
the internal dc power supply, either by external circuit
elements or by the thyristor trigger circuits, as shown in Fig. 9.
The chart shown in Fig. I indicates the value and dissipation
rating of the resistor RS for ac line voltages of 24, 120,208 to
230, and 277 volts.

Half-Cycling
Effect
The method by which the zero-voltage switch senses the

zero crossing of the ac power results in a half-cycling
phenomenon at the control point. Fig. 10 illustrates this
phenomenon. The zero-voltage switch senses the zero-voltage
crossing every half-cycle, and an output, for example pulse
No.4, is produced to indicate the zero crossing. During the
remaining 8.3 milliseconds, however, the differential amplifier
in the zero-voltage switch may change state and inhibit any
further output pulses. The uncertainity
region of the
differential amplifier, therefore, prevents pulse No.5 from
triggering the triac during the negative excursion of the ac line
voltage.

When a sensor with low sensitivity is used in the circuit, the

zero-voltage switch is very likely to operate in the linear mode.
In this mode, the output trigger current may be sufficient to
trigger the triac on the positive-going cycle, but insufficient to
trigger the device on the negative-going cycle of the triac
supply voltage. This effect introduces
a half-cycling
phenomenon, i.e., the triac is turned on during the positive
half-cycle and turned off during the negative half-cycle.
For applications that require complete elimination of

half-cycling without the addition of hysteresis, the circuit
shown in Fig. 13 may be employed. This circuit uses a

STATE WHEN THERE
Fig. 14. Because the CA3099E contains an integral flip-flop,

its output will be in either a "0" or "I" state. Consequently
the zero-voltage switch cannot operate in the linear mode, and
spurious half-cycling operation is prevented. When the
signal-input voltage at terminal 14 of the CA3099E is equal to
or less than the "low" reference voltage (LR), current flows
from the power supply through resistor R 1, and a logic "0" is
applied to terminal 13 of the zero-voltage switch. This
condition turns off the triac. The triac remains off until the
signal-input voltage rises to or exceeds the "high" reference
voltage (HR), thereby effecting a change in the state of the
flip-flop so that a logic "I" is applied to terminal 13 of the
zero-voltage switch, and triggers the triac on.
"Proportional
Control" Systems
The on-off nature of the control shown in Fig. I causes

some overshoot that leads to a definite steady-state error. The
addition of hysteresis adds further to this error factor.
However, the connections shown in Fig. 15(a) can be used to
add proportional control to the system. In this circuit, the
sense amplifier is connected as a free-running multivibrator. At
balance, the voltage at terminal 13 is much less than the
voltage at terminal 9. The output will be inhibited at all times
until the voltage at terminal 13 rises to the design differential
voltage between terminals 13 and 9; then proportional control
resumes. The voltage at terminal 13 is as shown in Fig. 15(b).

As in the case of the hysteresis circuitry described earlier,

some special applications may require more sophisticated
systems to achieve either very precise regions of control or
very long periods.
Zero-voltage switching control can be extended to
applications in which it is desirable to have constant control of
the temperature and a minimization of system hysteresis. A
closed-loop top-burner control in which the temperature of
the cooking utensil is sensed and maintained at a particular
value is a good example of such an application; the circuit for
this control is shown in Fig. 17. In this circuit, a unijunction

per cent. With a 0.1 megohm sensor and values of Rp =
0.1 megohm, R2 = 10,000 ohms, and CEXT = 10 microfarads,
a period greater than 3 seconds is achieved. This period should
be much shorter than the thermal time constant of the system.
A change in the value of any of these elemen ts changes the
period, as shown in Fig. 16. As the resistance of the sensor

oscillator is outboarded from the basic control by means of

the internal power supply of the zero-voltage switch. The
output of this ramp generator is applied to terminal 9 of the
zero-voltage switch and establishes a varied reference to the
differential amplifier. Therefore, gate pulses are applied to the
triac whenever the voltage at terminal 13 is greater than the
voltage at terminal 9. A varying duty cycle is established in
which the load is predominantly on with a cold sensor and
predominantly off with a hot sensor. For precise temperature
regulation, the time base of the ramp should be shorter than
the thermal time constant of the system but longer than the
period of the 60-Hz line. Fig. 18, which contains various
waveforms for the system of Fig. 17, indicates that a typical
variance of O.SoC might be expected at the sensor contact to
the utensil. Overshoot of the set temperature is minimized
with this approach, and scorching of any type is minimized.

Effect of Thyristor Load Characteristics

The zero-voltage switch is designed primarily to gate a
thyristor that switches a resistive load. Because the output
pulse supplied by the switch is of short duration, the latching
current of the triac becomes a significant factor in determining
whether other types of loads can be switched. (The
latching-current value determines whether the triac will remain
in conduction after the gate pulse is removed.) Provisions are
included in the zero-voltage switch to accommodate inductive
loads and low-power loads. For example, for loads that are less
than approximately 4 amperes rms or that are slightly
inductive, it is possible to retard the output pulse with respect
to the zero-voltage crossing by insertion of the capacitor Cx
from terminal 5 to terminal 7. The insertion of capacitor Cx
permits switching of triac loads that have a slight inductive
component and that are greater than approximately 200 watts
(for operation from an ac line voltage of 120 volts rms).
However, for loads less than 200 watts (for example,
70 watts), it is recommended that the user employ the
T2300B* sensitive-gate triac with the zero-voltage switch
because of the low latching-current requirement of this triac.
For loads that have a low power factor, such as a solenoid
valve, the user may operate the zero-voltage switch in the dc
mode. In this mode, terminal 12 is connected to terminal 7,
and the zero-crossing detector is inhibited. Whether a "high"
or "low" voltage is produced at terminal 4 is then dependent
only upon the state of the differential comparator within the
integrated-circuit zero-voltage switch, and not upon the zero
crossing of the incoming line voltage. Of course, in this mode
of operation, the zero-voltage switch no longer operates as a
zero-voltage switch. However, for many applications that
involve the switching of low-current inductive loads, the
amount of RFI generated can frequently be tolerated.
For switching of high-current inductive loads, which must
be turned on at zero line current, the triggering technique
employed
in the dual-output
over-under temperature
controller and the transient-free switch controller described
subsequently in this Note is recommended.
Switching of Inductive Loads
For proper driving of a thyristor in full-cycle operation,
gate drive must be applied soon after the voltage across the
device reverses. When resistive loads are used, this reversal
occurs as the line voltage reverses. With loads of other power
factors, however, it occurs as the current through the load
becomes zero and reverses.
There are several methods for sWitching an inductive load at
the proper time. If the power factor of the load is high (i.e., if
the load is only slightly inductive), the pulse may be delayed
by addition of a suitable capacitor between terminals 5 and 7,
as described previously. For highly inductive loads, however,
this method is not suitable, and different techniques must be
used.
If gate current is continuous, the triac automatically
commutates because drive is always present .vhen the voltage
reverses. This mode is established by connection of terminals 7
and 12. The zero-crossing detector is then disabled so that
current is supplied to the triac gate whenever called for by the
sensing amplifier. Although the RFI-eliminating function of

the zero-voltage switch is inhibited when the zero-crossing
detector is disabled, there is no problem if the load is highly
inductive because the current in the load cannot change
abruptly.
Circuits that use a sensitive-gate triac to shift the firing
point of the power triac by approximately 90 degrees have
been designed. If the primary load is inductive, this phase shift
corresponds to firing at zero current in the load. However,
changes in the power factor of the load or tolerances of
components will cause errors in this firing time.
The circuit
shown
in Fig. 19 uses a CA3086
integrated-circuit transistor array to detect the absence of load
current by sensing the voltage across the triac. The internal
zero-crossing detector is disabled by connection of terminal 12
to terminal 7, and control of the output is made through the
external inhibit input, terminal I. The circuit permits an
output only when the voltage at point A exceeds two VBE
drops, or 1.3 volts. When A is positive, transistors Q3 and Q4
conduct and reduce the voltage at terminal I below the inhibit
state. When A is negative, transistors Q t and Q2 conduct.
When the voltage at point A is less than 1.3 volts, neither of
the transistor pairs conducts; terminal I is then pulled positive
by the current in resistor R3, and the output in inhibited.
The circuit shown in Fig. 19 forms a pulse of gate current

and can supply high peak drive to power traics with low
average current drain on the internal supply. The gate pulse
will always last just long enough to latch the thyristor so that
disabled and initial turn-on occurs at random.

The gate pulse forms because the voltage at point A when
the thyristor is on is less than l.3 volts: therefore, the output
of the zero-voltage switch is inhibited, as described above. The
resistor divider R) and Rz should be selected to assure this
condition. When the triac is on, the voltage at point A is
approximately one-third of the instantaneous on-state voltage
(vr) of the thyristor. For most RCA thyristors, vr (max) is
less than 2 volts, and the divider shown is a conservative one.
When the load current passes through zero, the triac
commutates and turns off. Because the circuit is still being
driven by the line voltage, the current in the load attempts to
reverse, and voltage increases rapidly across the "turned-off'
triac. When this voltage exceeds 4 volts, one portion of the
CA3086 conducts and removes the inhibit signal to permit
application of gate drive. Turning the triac on causes the
Provision of Negative Gate Current

Triacs trigger with optimum sensitivity when the polarity of
the gate voltage and the voltage at the main terminal 2 are
similar (1+ and n- modes). Sensitivity is degraded when the
polarities are opposite (1- and JII+ modes). Although RCA
triacs are designed and specified to have the same sensitivity in
both rand
111+ modes, some other types have very poor
sensitivity in the JII+ condition. Because the zero-voltage
switch supplies positive gate pulses, it may not directly drive
some higher-current triacs of these other types.
The circuit shown in Fig.20(a) uses the negative-going
voltage at terminal 3 of the zero-voltage switch to supply a
negative gate pulse through a capacitor. The curve in
Fig. 20(b) shows the approximate peak gate current as a
function of gate voltage VG. Pulse width is approximately
80 microseconds.
Operation with Low-I mpedance Sensors
Although the zero-voltage switch can operate satisfactorily
with a wide range of sensors, sensitivity is reduced when
sensors with impedances greater than 20,000 ohms are used.
Typical sensitivity is one per cent for a SOOO-ohmsensor and
increases to three per cent for a O.l-megohm sensor.
Low-impedance sensors present a different problem. The
sensor bridge is connected across the internal power supply
and causes a current drain. A SOOO-ohm sensor with its
associated
SOOO-ohm series resistor draws less than
I milliampere. On the other hand, a 300-ohm sensor draws a
current of 8 to 10 milliampers from the power supply.
Fig. 21 shows the 600-ohm load line of a 300-ohm sensor
on a redrawn power-supply regulation curve for the
zero-voltage switch. When a I O,OOO-ohmseries resistor is used,
the voltage across the circuit is less than 3 volts and both
sensitivity and output current are significantly reduced. When
a SOOO-ohmseries resistor is used, the supply voltage is nearly
S volts, and operation is approximately normal. For more
consistent operation, however, a 4000-ohm series resistor is
recommended.

Further cycling depends on the voltage across the sensor.

Hence, very low values of sensor and potentiometer resistance
can be used in conjunction with the zero-voltage switch power

system performance.

integrated-circuit operational transconductance amplifier used

IABe, of 100 microamperes, a forward transconductance of
2 milliohms is achieved in this configuration. The CA3080
switches when the voltage at terminal 2 exceeds the voltage at
terminal 3. This action allows the sink current, Is, to flow
from terminal 13 of the zero-voltage switch (the input
impedance to terminal 13 of the zero-voltage switch is
approximately 50 kilohms); gate pulses are no longer applied
to the triac because Q2 of the zero-voltage switch is on. Hence,
if the PTC sensor is cold, i.e., in the low resistance state, the
load is energized. When the temperature of the PTC sensor
increases to the desired temperature, the sensor enters the high
resistance state, the voltage on terminal 2 becomes greater
than that on terminal 3, and the triac switches the load off.

used to achieve the necessary isolation. The logic output

Before such a system is implemented, a time base is chosen
so that the on-time of the triac is varied within this time base.
The ratio of the on-to-off time of the triac within this time
interval depends on the thermal time constant of the system
and the selected temperature setting. Fig. 29 illustrates the
principle of proportional control. For this operation, power is
supplied to the load until the ramp voltage reaches a value
greater than the dc control signal supplied to the opposite side
of the differential amplifier. The triac then remains off for the
remainder of the time-base period. As a result, power is
"proportioned"
to the load in a direct relation to the heat
demanded by the system.

For example, when the temperature setting is increased in an

For this application, a simple ramp generator can be

sensitivity of this device (3 milliamperes maximum) and low

synchronous operation of the temperature-controller circuit.

Electric-Heat Application
For electric-heating
applications,
the RCA-2N5444
40-ampere triac and the zero-voltage switch constitute an
optimum pair. Such a combination proVides synchronous
switching and effectively replaces the heavy-duty contactors
which easily degrade as a result of pitting and wearout from
the switching transients. The salient features of the 2N5444
40-ampere triac are as follows:
(I) 300-ampere single-surge capability (for operation at

60-Hz),
(2) a typical gate sensitivity of 20 milliamperes in the [(+)
and m(+) modes,
(3) low on-state voltage of 1.5 volts maximum at
40 amperes, and
(4) available VOROM equal to 600 volts.
Fig.33
shows
the
circuit
diagram
of
a
synchronous-switching heat-staging controller that is used for
electric heating systems. Loads as heavy as 5 kilowatts are
switched sequentially at zero voltage to eliminate RFI and
prevent a dip in line voltage that would occur if the full
25 kilowatts were to be switched simultaneously.
Transistor Ql and Q4 are used as a constant-current source
to charge capacitor C in a linear manner. Transistor Q2 acts as a
buffer stage. When the thermostat is closed, a ramp voltage is
prOVided at output Eo. At approximately 3-second intervals,
each 5-kilowatt heating element is switched onto the power
system by its respective triac. When there is no further demand
for heat, the thermostat opens, and capacitor C discharges
through R, and R2 to cause each triac to turn off in the
reverse heating sequence. It should be noted that some
half-cycling occurs before the heating element is switched fully
on. This condition can be attributed to the inherent
dissymmetry of the triac and is further aggravated by the
slow-rising ramp voltage applied to one of the inputs. The
timing diagram in Fig.34 shows the turn-on and turn-off
sequence of the heating system being controlled.
Oven/Broiler Control
Zero-voltage switching is demonstrated in the oven control
circuit shown in Fig.35. In this circuit, a sensor element is
included in the oven to provide a closed-loop system for
accurate control of the oven temperature.
Seemingly, the basic method shown in Fig. 33 could be

modified to provide proportional control in which the number
of heating elements switched into the system, under any given
As shown in Fig. 35, the temperature of the oven can be

adjusted by means of potentiometer R I, which acts, together
with the sensor, as a voltage divider at terminal 13. The voltage

thermal load, would be a function of the BTU's required by

the system or the temperature differential between an indoor
and outdoor sensor within the total system environment. That
is, the closing of the thermostat would not switch in all the
heating elements within a short time interval, which inevitably
results in undesired temperature excursions, but would switch
in only the number of heating elements reqUired to satisfy the
actual heat load.

at terminal 13 is compared to the fixed bias at terminal9

which is set by internal resislors R4 and Rs. When the oven is
cold and the resistance of the sensor is high, transistors Q2 and
Q4 are off, a pulse of gate current is applied to the triac, and
heat is applied to the oven. Conversely, as the desired
temperature is reached, the bias at terminal 13 turns the triac
off. The closed-loop feature then cycles the oven element on
and off to maintain the desired temperature to approximately
2C of the set value. Also, as has been noted, external
resistors between terminals 13 and 8, and 7 and 8, can be used
to vary this temperature and provide hysteresis. In Fig. II, a
circuit that provides approximately IO-per-cent hysteresis is

demonstrated.
In addition to allowing the selection of a hysteresis value,
the flexibility of the control circuit permits incorporation of
other features. A PTC sensor is readily used by interchanging
terminals 9 and 13 of the circuit shown in Fig. 35 and
substituting the PTC for the NTC sensor. In both cases, the
sensor element is directly returned to the system ground or
common, as is often desired. Terminal 9 can be connected by
external resistors to proVide for a variety of biasing, e.g., to
match a lower-resistance sensor for which the switching-point
voltage has been reduced to maintain the same sensor current.
To accommodate
the self-cleaning feature, external
switching, which enables both broiler and oven units to be
paralleled, can easily be incorporated in the design. Of course,
the potentiometer must be capable of a setting such that the
sensor, which must be characterized for the high, self-clean
temperature,
can monitor and establish control of the
high-temperature, self-clean mode. The ease with which this
self-clean mode can be added makes the over-all solid-state
systems cost-competitive with electromechanical systems of
comparable capability. In addition, the system incorporates
solid-state reliability while being neater, more easily calibrated,
and containing less-costly system wiring.
Integral-Cycle Temperature Controller (No half-cycling)
If a temperature controller which is completely devoid of
half-cycling and hysteresis is required, then the circuit shown
in Fig. 36 may be used. This type of circuit is essential for
applications in which half-cycling and the resultant de
component could cause overheating of a power transformer on
the utility lines.

In the integral-cycle controller, when the temperature being

controlled is low, the resistance of the thermistor is high, and
an output signal at terminal 4 of zero volts is obtained. The
SCR (Y J), therefore, is turned off. The triac (Y 2) is then
triggered directly from the line on positive cycles of the ac
voltage. When Y2 is triggered and supplies power to the load
RL, capacitor C is charged to the peak of the input voltage.
When the ac line swings negative, capacitor C discharges
through the triac gate to trigger the triac on the negative
half-cycle. The diode-resistor-capacitor
"slaving network"
triggers the triac on negative half-cycle to provide only integral
cycles of ac power to the load.
Of course, the circuit shown in Fig. 37 can readily be

converted to a tme proportional integral-cycle temperature
controller simply by connection of a positive-going ramp
voltage to terminal9 (with terminals 10 and II open), as
previously discussed in this Note.
Thermocouple Temperature Control
Fig. 38 shows the CA3080A operating as a pre-amplifier for
the zero-voltage switch to form a zero-voltage switching circuit
for use with thermocouple sensors.
When the temperature being controlled reaches the desired

value, as determined by the thermistor, then a positive voltage
level appears at terminal 4 of the zero-voltage switch. The SCR
then starts to conduct at the beginning of the positive input
cycle to shunt the trigger current away from the gate of the
triac. The triac is then turned off. The cycle repeats when the
SCR is again turned OFF by the zero-voltage switch.
The circuit shown in Fig. 37 is similar to the configuration
in Fig. 36 except that the protection circuit incorporated in
the zero-voltage switch can be used. In this new circuit, the
NTC sensor is connected between terminals 7 and 13, and
transistor Qo inverts the signal output at terminal 4 to nullify
the phase reversal introduced by the SCR (Y 1)' The internal
power supply of the zero-voltage switch supplies bias current

MACHINE CONTROL AND AUTOMATION
The earlier section on interfacing techniques indicated

several techniques of controlling ac loads through a logic
system. Many types of automatic equipment are not complex
enough or large enough to justify the cost of a flexible logic
system. A special circuit, designed only to meet the control
requirements of a particular machine, may prove more
economical. For example, consider the simple machine shown
in Fig. 39; for each revolution of the motor, the belt is
advanced a prescribed distance, and the strip is then punched.
The machine also has variable speed capability.

The entire control system could be on one printed-circuit

board, and an over-all cost advantage would be achieved.

The typical electromechanical control circuit for such a

machine might consist of a mechanical cambank driven by a
separate variable speed motor, a time delay relay, and a few
logic and power relays. Assuming use of industrial-grade
controls, the control system could get quite costly and large.
Of greater importance is the necessity to eliminate transients
generated each time a relay or switch energizes and deenergizes
the solenoid and motor. Fig. 40 shows such transients, which
might not affect the operation of this machine, but could
affect the more sensitive solid-state equipment operating in the
area.
A more desirable system would use triacs and zero-voltage
switching to incorporate the following advantages:

Increased reliability and long life inherent in
solid-state devices as opposed to moving parts and
contacts associated with relays.

machine control, and Fig.42 is the corresponding control

schematic. A variable-speed machine repetition rate pulse is set
up using either a unijunction oscillator or a transistor astable
multivibrator in conjunction with a 10-millisecond one-shot
multivibrator. The first zero-voltage switch in Fig. 42 is used
to synchronize the entire system to zero-voltage crossing. Its
output is inverted to simplify adaptation to the rest of the
circuit. The center zero-voltage switch is used as an interface
for the photo-cell, to control one revolution of the motor. The
gate drive to the motor triac is continuous dc, starting at zero
voltage crossing. The motor is initiated when both the machine
rate pulse and the zero-voltage sync are at low voltage. The
bottom zero-voltage switch acts as a time-delay for pulsing the
solenoid. The inhibit input, terminal 1, is used to assure that
the solenoid will not be operated while the motor is running.
The time delay can be adjusted by varying the reference level
(50K potentiometer) at terminal 13 relative to the capacitor
charging to that level on terminal 9. The capacitor is reset by
the SCR during the motor operation. The gate drive to the
solenoid triac is direct current. Direct current is used to trigger
both the motor and solenoid triacs because it is the most
desirable means of switching a triac into an inductive load. The
output of the zero-voltage switch will be continuous dc by
connecting terminal 12 to common. The output under dc
operation should be limited to 20 milliamperes. The motor
triac is synchronized to zero crossing because it is a
high-crurent inductive load and there is a chance of generating
RFI. The solenoid is a very low current inductive load, so
there would be little chance of generating RFI: therefore, the
initial triac turn-on can be random, which simplifies the
circuitry.
This example shows the versatility and advantages of the
RCA zero-voltage switch used in conjunction with triacs as
interfacing and control elements for machine control.

400-Hz TRIAC APPLICATIONS
The increased complexity of aircraft control systems, and

the need for greater reliability than electromechanical
sWitching can offer, has led to the use of solid-state power
switching in aircraft. Because 400-Hz power is used almost
universally in aircraft systems, RCA offers a complete line of
triacs rated for 400-Hz applications. Use of the RCA
zero-voltage switch in conjunction with these 400-Hz triacs
results in a minimum of RFI, which is especially important in
aircraft.
Areas of application for 400-Hz triacs in aircraft include:
a.
Heater controls for food-warming ovens and for
windshield defrosters.
b.
Lighting controls for instrument panels and cabin
illumination
c.
Motor controls
d.
Solenoid controls
e.
Power-supply switches
Lamp dimming is a simple triac application
that
demonstrates an advantage of 400-Hz power over 60-Hz
power. Fig.43 shows the adjustment of lamp intensity by
phase control of the 60-Hz line voltage. RFI is generated by
the step functions of power each half cycle, requiring
extensive filtering. Fig. 44 shows a means of controlling power
to the lamp by the zero-voltage-switching technique. Use of
400-Hz power makes possible the elimination of complete or
half cycles within a period (typically 17.5 milliseconds)
without noticeable flicker. Fourteen different levels of lamp

intensity can be obtained in this manner. A line-synced ramp is
set up with the desired period and applied to terminal No.9 of
the differential amplifier within the zero-voltage switch, as
shown in Fig. 45. The other side of the differential amplifier
(terminal No. 13) uses a variable reference level, set by the
50K potentiometer. A change of the potentiometer setting
changes the lamp intensity.
In 400-Hz applications it may be necessary to widen and
shift the zero-voltage switch output pulse (which is typically
12 microseconds wide and centered on zero voltage crossing),
to assure that sufficient latching current is available. The 4K
resistor
(terminal
No. 12
to
common)
and
the
0.0 I 5-microfarad capacitor (terminal No.5 to common) are
used for this adjustment.

SOLID-STATE
TRAFFIC
FLASHER
Another application which illustrates the versatility of the

zero-voltage switch, when used with RCA thyristors, involves
switching traffic-control lamps. In this type of application, it is
essential that a triac withstand a current surge of the lamp load
on a continuous basis. This surge results from the difference
between the cold and hot resistance of the tungsten filament.
If it is assumed that triac turn-on is at 90 degrees from the
zero-voltage
crossing, the first current-surge
peak is
approximately ten times the peak steady-state value or fifteen
times the steady-state rms value. The second current-surge
peak is approximately four times the steady-state rms value.
When the triac randomly switches the lamp, the rate of

current rise di/dt is limited only by the source inductance. The
triac di/dt rating may be exceeded in some power systems. In
many cases, exceeding the rating results in excessive current
concentrations in a small area of the device which may
produce a hot spot and lead to device failure. Critical
applications of this nature require adequate drive to the triac
gate for fast turn-on. In this case, some inductance may be
required in the load circuit to reduce the initial magnitude of
the load current when the triac is passing through the active
region. Another method may be used which involves the
switching of the triac at zero line voltage. This method
involves the supply of pulses to the triac gate only during the
presence of zero voltage on the ac line.
Fig. 46 shows a circuit in which the lamp loads are switched
at zero line voltage. This approach reduces the initial di/dt,
decreases the required triac surge-current ratings, increases the
operating lamp life, and eliminates RFI problems. This circuit
consists of two triacs, a flip-flop (FF-!), the zero-voltage
switch, and a diac pulse generator. The flashing rate in this
circuit is controlled by potentiometer R, which provides
between 10 and 120 flashes per minute. The state of FFI
determines the triggering of triacs Y I or Y2 by the output
pulses at terminal 4 generaled by Ihe zero-crossing circuit.
Transistors QI and Q2 inhibit these pulses to the gates of the

triacs until the triacs turn on by the logical" I" (Vcc high)
state of the flip-flop.
The arrangement described can also be used for a
synchronous, sequential trafficcontroller system by addition
of one triac, one gating transistor, a "divide-by-three" logic
circuit, and modification in the design of the diac pulse
generator. Such a system can control the familiar red, amber,
and green traffic signals that are found at many intersections.
SYNCHRONOUS
LIGHT FLASHER
Fig. 47
shows

version
of
the
traffic light flasher shown in Fig. 46.
Flash rale is set by use of the curve shown in Fig. 16. If a more
precise flash rale is required, the ramp generator described
previously may be used. In this circuit, ZVSl is the master
control unit and ZVS2 is slaved to the output of ZVS1
through its inhibit terminal (terminal I). When power is
applied to lamp No. I, the voltage of terminal 6 on ZVSI is
high and ZVS2 is inhibited by the current in Rx. When lamp
No. I is off, ZVS2 is not inhibited, and triac Y2 can fire. The
power supplies operate in parallel. The on-off sensing amplifier
in ZVS2 is not used.
TRANSIENT-FREE
SWITCH CONTROLLERS
The zero-voltage switch can be used as a simple solid-state

switching device that permits ac currents to be turned on or
off with a minimum of electrical transients and circuit noise.
The circuit shown in Fig. 48 is connected so that, after the
control terminal 14 is opened, the electronic logic waits until
the power-line voltage reaches a zero crossing before power is
applied to the load ZL. Conversely, when the control terminals
are shorted, the load current continues until it reaches a zero
crossing. This circuit can switch a load at zero current whether
it is resistive or inductive.
The circuit shown in Fig. 49 is connected to provide the
opposite control logic to that of the circuit shown in Fig. 48.
That is, when the switch is closed, power is supplied to the
load, and when the switch is opened, power is removed from
the load.
In both configurations, the maximum rms load current that
can be switched depends on the rating of triac Y 2. If Y 2 is an
RCA-2N5444 triac, an rms current of 40 amperes can be
switched.
DIFFERENTIAL
COMPARATOR
FOR INDUSTRIAL
USE
Differential comparators have found widespread use as limit

detectors which compare two analog input signals and provide
a go/no-go, logic 'one" or logic "zero" output, depending
upon the relative magnitudes of these signals. Because the

signals are often at very low voltage levels and very accurate
discrimination is normally required between them, differential
comparators in many cases employ differential amplifiers as a
basic building block. However, in many industrial control
applications, a high-performance differential comparator is not
required. That is, high resolution, fast switching speed, and
similar features are not essential. The zero-voltage switch is
ideally suited for use in such applications. Connection of
terminal 12 to terminal 7 inhibits the zero-voltage threshold
detector of the zero-voltage switch, and the circuit becomes a
differential comparator.
Fig. 50 shows the circuit arrangement for use of the
zero-voltage switch as a differential comparator. In this
application, no external dc supply is required, as is the case
with
most
commercially
availabte
integrated-circuit
comparators; of course, the output-current capability of the
zero-voltage switch is reduced because the circuit is operating
in the dc mode. The 1000-ohm resistor RG, connected
between terminal 4 and the gate of the triac, limits the output
current to approximately 3 milliamperes.
When the zero-voltage switch is connected in the dc mode,
the drive current for terminal 4 can be determined from a
curve of the external load current as a function of dc voltage
from terminals 2 and 7. This curve is shown in the technical
bulletin for RCA integrated-circuit zero-voltage switches, File
No. 490. Of course, if additional output current is required, an
external dc supply may be connected between terminals 2

Fig.51 shows a circuit which triggers a triac for one complete

push button PB-I, which produces triggering of the triac near
zero voltage even though the button is randomly depressed
during the ac cycle. The triac does not trigger again until the
button is released and again depressed. This type of logic is
required for the solenoid drive of electrically operated stapling

guns, impulse hammers, and the like, where load-current flow

is required for only one complete half-cycle. Such logic can
also be adapted to keyboard consoles in which contact bounce
produces transmission of erroneous information.
In the circuit of Fig. 51, before the button is depressed,
both flip-flop outputs are in the "zero" state. Transistor QG is
biased on by the output of flip-flop FF-I. The differential
comparator which is part of the zero-voltage switch is initially
biased to inhibit output pulses. When the push button is
depressed, pulses are generated, but the state of QG
determines the requirement for their supply to the triac gate.

The first pulse generated serves as a "framing pulse" and does
not trigger the triac but toggles FF-I. Transistor QG is then
turned off. The second pulse triggers the triac and FF-! which,
ill turn, toggles the second flip-flop FF-2. The output of FF-2
turns on transistor Q7, as shown in Fig. 52, which inhibits all
further output pulses. When the pushbutton is released, the
circuit resets itself until the process is repeated with the
button. Fig. 53 shows the timing diagram for the described
operating sequence.

Fig. 54 shows a circuit using a CA3058 or CA3059
zero-voltage
switch
together
with
two
CA3086
integrated-circuit transistor arrays to form a phase-control
circuit. This circuit is specifically designed for speed control of
ac induction motors, but may also be used as a light dimmer.
The circuit, which can be operated from a line frequency of
50-Hz to 400-Hz, consists of a zero-voltage detector, a
line-synchronized ramp generator, a zero-current detector, and
a line-derived control circuit (i.e., the zero-voltage switch). The
zero-voltage detector (part of CA3086 No. I) and the ramp
generator (CA3086 No.2)
provide a line-synchronized
ramp-voltage output to terminal 13 of the zero-voltage switch.
The ramp voltage, which has a starting voltage of 1.8 volts,
starts to rise after the line voltage passes the zero point. The
ramp generator has an oscillation frequency of twice the
incoming line frequency. The slope of the ramp voltage can be
adjusted by variation of the resistance of the I-megohm
ramp-control potentiometer.
The output phase can be
controlled easily to provide 1800 firing of the triac by
programming the voltage at terminal 9 of the zero-voltage
switch. The basic operation of the zero-voltage switch driving a
thyristor with an inductive load was explained previously in
the discussion on switching of inductive loads.
Isolation of DC Logic Circuitry

As
explained
earlier
under
Special
Application
Considerations, isolation of the de logic circuitry* from the ac
line, the triac, and the load circuit is often desirable even in
many single-phase power-control. applications. In control
circuits for polyphase power systems, however, this type of
isolation is essential, because the common point of the de logic
circuitry cannot be referenced to a common line in all phases.
In the three-phase circuits described in this section,
photo-optic techniques (i.e., photo-coupled isolators) are used
to provide the electrical isolation of the de logic command
signal from the ac circuits and the load. The photo-coupled
isolators consist of an infrared light-emitting diode aimed at a
silicon photo transistor, coupled in a common package. The
light-emitting diode is the input section, and the photo
transistor is the output section. The two components provide a
voltage isolation typically of 1500 volts. Other isolation
techniques, such as pulse transformers, magnetoresistors, or
reed relays, can also be used with some circuit modifications.
Resistive Loads
Fig. 55 illustrates the basic phase relationships of a
balanced three-phase resistive load, such as may be used in
heater applications, in which the application of load power is
TRIAC POWER CONTROLS FOR

THREE-PHASE SYSTEMS
This section describes recommended configurations for
power-control circuits intended for use with both inductive
and resistive balanced three-phase loads. The specific design
requirements for each type of loading condition are discussed.
In
the
power-control
circuits
described,
the
integrated-circuit zero-voltage switch is used as the trigger
circuit for the power triacs. The following conditions are also
imposed in the design of the triac control circuits:
I. The load should be connected
in a three-wire
configuration with the triacs placed external to the load;
eiter delta or wye arrangements may be used. Four-wire
loads in wye configurations can be handled as three
independent single-phase systems. Delta configurations in
which a triac is connected within each phase rather than
in the incoming lines can also be handled as three
independent single-phase systems.
2. Only one logic command signal is available for the
control circuits. This signal must be electrically isolated
from the three-phase power system.
3. Three separate triac gating signals are required.
4. For operation with resistive loads, the zero-voltage
switching technique should be used to minimize any
radio-frequency
interference
(RFI) that may be
generated.
* The de logic circuitry provides the low-level electrical signal that
dictates the state of the load. For temperature controls, the de logic
circuitry includes a temperature sensor for feedback. The ReA
integrated-circuit zero-voltage switch, when operated in the de mode
with some additional circuitry. can replace the de logic circuitry for
temperature controls.

voltage.
2. A single phase of a wye configuration type of three-wire
system cannot be turned on.
3. Two phases must be turned on for initial starting of the
system. These two phases form a single-phase circuit
which is out of phase with both of its component phases.
The single-phase circuit leads one phase by 30 degrees
and lags the other phase by 30 degrees.
These conditions indicate that in order to maintain a
system in which no appreciable RFI is generated by the
switching action from initial starting through the steady-state
operating condition, the system must first be turned on, by
zero-voltage switching, as a single-phase circuit and then must
revert to synchronous three-phase operation.
Fig. 56 shows a simplified circuit configuration of a
three-phase
heater
control
that employs zero-voltage
synchronous switching in the steady-state operating condition,
with random starting. In this system, the logic command to
turn on the system is given when heat is required, and the
command to turn off the system is given when heat is not
required. Time proportioning heat control is also possible
through the use of logic commands.

zero-voltage crossing relative to. their particular phase. A

balanced three-phase sensing circuit is set up with the three
zero-voltage switches each connected to a particular phase on
their common side (terminal 7) and referenced at their high
side (terminal 5), through the current-limiting resistors R4,
R5, and R6, to an established artificial neutral point. This
artificial neutral point is electrically equivalent to the
inaccessible neutral point of the wye type of three-wire load
and, therefore, is used to establish the desired phase
relationships. The same artificial neutral point is also used to
establish the proper phase relationships for a delta type of
three-wire load. Because only one triac <s pulsed on at a time,
the diodes (01, 02, and 03) are necessary to trigger the
opposite-polarity triac, and, in this way, to assure initial
latching-on of the system. The three resistors (Rl, R2, and
R3) are used for current limiting of the gate drive when the
opposite-polarity triac is triggered on by the line voltage.
In critical applications that require suppression of all
generated RFI, the circuit shown in Fig. 57 may be used. In
addition to synchronous steady-state operating conditions, this
circuit also incorporates a zero-voltage starting circuit. The

and

isolators OC13, OCI4, OCI5 through the photo-eoupled
isolators OCII
and OCI2. The single-phase zero-voltage
switch, which is synchronized to phases A and B, starts the
system at zero voltage. As soon as start-up is accomplished, the
three photo-eoupled isolators OCI3, OCI4, and OCI5 take
control, and three-phase synchronization begins. When the
"logic command" is turned off, all control is ended, and the
triacs automatically turn off when the sine-wave current
decreases to zero. Once the first phase turns off, the other two
will turn off simultaneously, 900 later, as a single-phase
line-to-Iine circuit, as is apparent from Fig. 55.
Inductive loads
For inductive loads, zero-voltage turn-on is not generally
required because the inductive current cannot increase
instantaneously; therefore, the amount of RFI generated is
usually negligible. Also, because of the lagging nature of the
inductive current, the triacs cannot be pulse-fired at zero
voltage. There are several ways in which the zero-voltage
switch may be interfaced to a triac for inductive-load
applications. The most direct approach is to use the
zero-voltage switch in the dc mode, i.e., to provide a
continuous dc output instead of pulses at points of
zero-voltage crossing. This mode of operation is accomplished
by connection of terminal 12 to terminal 7, as shown in
Fig. 58. The output of the zero-voltage switch should also be

limited to approximately 5 milliamperes in the dc mode by the

750-ohm series resistor. Use of a triac such as the T230 I 0* is
recommended for this application. Terminal 3 is connected to
terminal 2 to limit the steady-state power dissipation within
the zero-voltage switch. For most three-phase inductive load
applications, the current-handling capability of the 40692 triac
(2.5 amperes) is not sufficient. Therefore, the 40692 is used as
a trigger triac to turn on any other currently available power
triac that may be used. The trigger triac is used only to provide
trigger pulses to the gate of the power triac (one pulse per half
cycle); the power dissipation in this device, therefore, will be
minimal.
Simplified circuits using pulse transformers and reed relays
will also work quite satisfactorily in this type of application.
The RC networks across the three power triacs are used for
suppression of the commutating dv/dt when the circuit
operates into inductive loads.
