Intended for power supplies with universal inputs (85 V to 265 V
rms), the STR83145 and STR84145 latched, universal input-voltage
switches incorporate timing, control, and drive circuitry with a highcurrent triac (bidirectional triode thyristor) switch. Each device senses
the applied ac line potential and automatically switches the rectifier and
associated capacitors between a voltage-doubler configuration (for line
voltages to 141 V) and a full-bridge configuration (for line voltages
greater than 149 V). This eliminates the possibility of user error with
adjustable jumpers or switches. Also, the related switch-mode power
stage need operate only over a reduced range of dc input voltages
when compared with "wide input" power supplies using a bridge rectifier
only. The reduction in dc input voltage range permits the use of lowervoltage capacitors and leads to a reduction in power stage stresses and
power dissipation. The STR83145 and STR84145 differ only in their
maximum ac current rating (10 A and 12 A, respectively).
The internal sensitive-gate triac is switched by a temperaturecompensated constant-current gate driver driven by a 15 kHz pulse
train to reduce power dissipation. The switch-over voltage is accurately
set during manufacture for consistent operation. An user-adjustable
delay is provided to ensure start-up in the full-bridge mode. Once
established (by an input voltage greater than 149 V rms), an integral
latch holds the full-bridge mode to preclude false application of the
doubler mode during brownouts, voltage droops, or missing cycles.
The requirements of low transient thermal impedance and steadystate thermal resistance are satisfied in a molded, 5-lead single in-line
power package. Similar input-voltage switches, with a switch point of
159 V rms, are also available.
