Mains Supply, Pin 5, Figure 2
The integrated circuit U2008B, which also contains
voltage limiting, can be connected via D1 and R1 via the
mains supply. Supply voltage between Pin 4 (pos.
,
)
and Pin 5 is smoothed by C1.
Series resistance R1 can be calculated as follows:

Voltage Monitoring
When the voltage is built up, uncontrolled output pulses
are avoided by internal voltage monitoring. Apart from
that, all latches in the circuit (phase control, load limit
regulation) are reset and the soft-start capacitor is short
circuited. This guarantees a specified start-up behavior
each time the supply voltage is switched on or after short
interruptions of the mains supply. Soft start is initiated
after the supply voltage has been built up. This behavior
guarantees a gentle start-up for the motor and
automatically ensures the optimum run-up time.
Phase Control, Pin 6
The function of the phase control is largely identical to
that of the well-known IC U211B. The phase angle of the
trigger pulse is derived by comparing the ramp voltage V
2
at Pin 2 with the set value on the control input, Pin 3. The
slope of the ramp is determined by C
and its charging
current I .
The charging current can be regulated, changed, altered
using R at Pin 6. The maximum phase angle, α
max,
(minimum current flow angle
min
) can also be adjusted
by using R
(see figure 5).
When the potential on Pin 2 reaches the set point level of
Pin 3, a trigger pulse is generated whose pulse width, tp,
is determined from the value of C (tp = 9 s/nF, see
figure 7). At the same time, a latch is set with the output
pulse, as long as the automatic retriggering has not been
activated, then no more pulses can be generated in that
half cycle. Control input at Pin 3 (with respect to Pin 4)
has an active range from –9 V to –2 V. When V3 = –9 V,
then the phase angle is at its maximum α
max,
i.e., the
current flow angle is minimum. The minimum phase
angle α
min
is set with V3 –1 V.
Automatic Retriggering
The current-detector circuit monitors the state of the triac
after triggering by measuring the voltage drop at the triac
gate. A current flow through the triac is recognized when
the voltage drop exceeds a threshold level of typ. 40 mV.
If the triac is quenched within the relevant half wave after
triggering (for example owing to low load currents before
or after the zero crossing of current wave, or for commutator motors, owing to brush lifters), the automatic
retriggering circuit ensures immediate retriggering, if
necessary with a high repetition rate, tpp/tp, until the triac
remains reliably triggered.
