The integrated circuit U209B is designed as a phasecontrol circuit in bipolar technology with an internal
frequency-voltage converter. Furthermore, it has an
internal open-loop amplifier which means it can be used
for motor speed control with tacho feedback.
Features
Internal frequency-to-voltage converter
The U209B is a 14-pin shrink version of the U211B with
reduced features. Using the U209B, the designer is able
to realize sophisticated as well as economic motor control
systems.

Description
Mains Supply
The U209B is designed with voltage limiting and can
therefore be supplied directly from the mains. The supply

across D

When the potential on Pin 6 reaches the nominal value
predetermined at Pin 11, a trigger pulse is generated
whose width tp is determined by the value of C
of C2 and hence the pulse width can be evaluated by
assuming 8 s/nF).
The current sensor on Pin 1 ensures that no pulse is generated (for operation with inductive loads) in a new half
cycle as long as the current from the previous half cycle
is still flowing in the opposite direction to the supply
voltage at that instant. This makes sure that “Gaps” in the
load current are prevented.
The control signal on Pin 11 can be in the range 0 V to
–7 V (reference point Pin 2).

= –7 V, the phase angle is at maximum =

Voltage Monitoring
As the voltage is built up, uncontrolled output pulses are
avoided by internal voltage surveillance. At the same
time, all latches in the circuit (phase control, soft start) are
reset and the soft-start capacitor is short circuited. Used
with a switching hysteresis of 300 mV, this system guarantees defined start-up behaviour each time the supply
voltage is switched on or after short interruptions of the
mains supply.

As soon as the supply voltage builds up (t1), the integrated
soft start is initiated. Figure 4 shows the behaviour of the

with the voltage on the phase control input on Pin 11. This
behaviour guarantees a gentle start-up for the motor and
automatically ensures the optimum run-up time.
Phase Control
The function of the phase control is largely identical to
that of the well known integrated circuit U2008B. The
phase angle of the trigger pulse is derived by comparing
the ramp voltage. This is mains-synchronized by the voltage detector with the set value on the control input Pin 4.
The slope of the ramp is determined by C
current. The charging current can be varied using R

charging current to approx. 4 A, the slope of the charging
function is substantially reduced so that the rotational
speed of the motor only slowly increases. The charging
current then increases as the voltage across C
giving a progressively rising charging function which
accelerates the motor with increasing rotational speed.
The charging function determines the acceleration up to
the set-point. The charging current can have a maximum
value of 50 A.

Frequency-to-Voltage Converter
The internal frequency-to-voltage converter
(f/V-converter) generates a DC signal on Pin 9 which is
proportional to the rotational speed using an AC signal
from a tacho generator or a light beam whose frequency
is in turn dependent on the rotational speed. The high
impedance input with a switch-on threshold of typ.
–100 mV gives very reliable operation even when
relatively simple tacho generators are employed. The
tacho frequency is given by:
n
f =
n = revolutions per minute
p = number of pulses per revolution
The converter is based on the charge pumping principle.
With each negative half wave of the input signal, a
quantity of charge determined by C
amplified and then integrated by C

by C5, its charging voltage of Vch, R

The value of this capacitor should be chosen to fit the

Control Amplifier
The integrated control amplifier with differential input
compares the set value (Pin 10) with the instantaneous
value on Pin 9 and generates a regulating voltage on the
output Pin 11 (together with external circuitry on Pin 12)
which always tries to hold the real voltage at the value of
the set voltages. The amplifier has a transmittance of typically 110 A/V and a bipolar current source output on Pin
11 which operates with typically ±100 A. The
amplification and frequency response are determined by

and R8 (can be left out). For operation as a

with Pin 2. The phase angle of the triggering pulse can be
adjusted using the voltage on Pin 10. An internal limiting
circuit prevents the voltage on Pin 11 from becoming
more negative than V

Pulse-Output Stage
The pulse-output stage is short-circuit protected and can
typically deliver currents of 125 mA. For the design of
smaller triggering currents, the function I

= f (R

) can
be taken from figure 14.
Automatic Retriggering
The automatic retriggering prevents half cycles without
current flow, even if the triacs are turned off earlier e.g.,
due to not exactly centered collector (brush lifter) or in the
event of unsuccessful triggering. If necessary, another
triggering pulse is generated after a time lapse of
tPP = 4.5 tP and this is repeated until either the triac fires
or the half cycle finishes.

General Hints and Explanation of Terms
To ensure safe and trouble-free operation, the following
points should be taken into consideration when circuits
are being constructed or in the design of printed circuit
boards.
The connecting lines from C
be as short as possible, and the connection to Pin 2
should not carry any additional high current such as
the load current. When selecting C2, a low temperature coefficient is desirable.
The common (earth) connections of the set-point
generator, the tacho-generator and the final interference suppression capacitor C
should not carry load current.
The tacho generator should be mounted without
influence by strong stray fields from the motor.

Ozone Depleting Substances Policy Statement
It is the policy of Atmel Germany GmbH to
1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements.
2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems
with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on
the environment.
It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as
ozone depleting substances (ODSs).
The Montreal Protocol (1987) and its London Amendments ( 1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and forbid
their use within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban on these
substances.
Atmel Germany GmbH has been able to use its policy of continuous improvements to eliminate the use of ODSs listed
in the following documents.
1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively
2. Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA
3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C (transitional substances) respectively.
Atmel Germany GmbH can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting substances
and do not contain such substances.
We reserve the right to make changes to improve technical design and may do so without further notice .
Parameters can vary in different applications. All operating parameters must be validated for each customer
application by the customer. Should the buyer use Atmel Wireless & Microcontrollers products for any unintended
or unauthorized application, the buyer shall indemnify Atmel Wireless & Microcontrollers against all claims,
costs, damages, and expenses, arising out of, directly or indirectly, any claim of personal damage, injury or death
associated with such unintended or unauthorized use.
