The UAA145 is a bipolar integrated circuit, designed to
provide phase control for industrial applications. It
permits the number of components in thyristor drive
circuits to be drastically reduced. The versatility of the
device is further enhanced by the provision of a large
number of pins giving access to internal circuit points.

General Description
The operation of the circuit is best explained with the help
of the block diagram shown in figure 1. It comprises a
synchronizing stage, ramp generator, voltage
com-parator, pulse generator, channel selecting stage and
two output amplifiers. The circuit diagram in figure 2 also
shows the external components and terminal connections
necessary for operation of the circuit.
As can be seen from figure 2, the circuit requires two
supply rails i.e. a +15 V and a –15 V. The positive voltage
is applied directly to Pin 1, while an external series
resistor in each line is used to connect the negative
voltage Pin 13 and Pin 15. In the following circuit
description each section of the block diagrams is
discussed separately.
Synchronization Stage
Pin 9 is connected, via a voltage divider (22 kW and Rp),
to the ac line (sync. signal source). A pulse is generated
during each zero crossover of the sync. input. The pulse
duration depends on the resistance R
50 to 100 ms. (figure 2).
In addition to providing zero voltage switching pulses this
section of the circuit generates blocking signals for use in
the channel selecting stage.

Comparator (Differential Amplifier)
and Memory
In the (voltage) comparator stage, the ramp voltage is
compared with the shift voltage V
comparator switches whenever the instantaneous ramp
voltage is the same as the shift voltage (corresponding to
the desired phase angle), thereby causing the memory to
be set, i.e. the integrated thyristor in memory is to be
turned on. The time delay between the signal input and
the comparator output signal is proportional to the
required phase angle. Design of the circuit is such that the
memory content is reset only during the instant of zero
crossover, the reset signal always overriding the set
signal. This effectively prevents the generation of
additional output pulses and causes any pulse already
started to be immediately inhibited on application of an
inhibit signal to Pin 6. The memory content can also be
reset via Pin 6. Thus the memory ensures that any noise
(negative voltage transients) superimposed on the shift
signal at Pin 8 cannot give rise to the generation of
multiple pulses during the half-cycle.

Pulse Phasing Limits
The pulse phasing front limit is determined by limiting
the maximum shift voltage applied to Pin 8 which is thus
adjustable by external circuitry. This can be done by
connecting a Z-diode between Pin 8 and Pin 3. The pulse
phasing rear limit,

Pulse Blocking
The output pulses can be blocked via Pin 6, the memory
content being erased whenever Pin 6 is connected to +V
(Pin 1). This effectively de-activates the pulse generator;
any output pulse in the process of generation is interrupted.
Pulse blocking can be accomplished either via relay
contacts or a PNP switching transistor (figure 14).

The output pulse always finishes at zero crossover. This
means that if there is a minimum pulse width requirement
(for example, when the load is inductive) provision must
be made for a corresponding pulse phasing rear limit. The
output stages are arranged so that the transistors are cut
off when a pulse is produced. Consequently, the thyristor
trigger pulse current flows via the external load resistors,
this current being passed by the transistors during the
period when no output pulse is produced. During this
period the output voltage drops to the transistor saturation
level and is therefore load dependent. Figure 12 shows
the relationship between saturation voltage and load
current.
Shift Characteristic
In figure 13 the angle of phase shift is shown plotted as a
function of the voltage applied to Pin 8 for a pulse phasing
rear limit of approximately 0_. Because the ramp waveform is a part of the exponential function, the shift curve
is also exponential.
The limitation of the shift voltage to approximately 8.5 V
is due to the internal Z-diode Z
spread of 7 to 9 V.

To ensure good pulse phasing symmetry as well as
identical shift characteristics in three-phase applications,
when three devices are employed, two parallel
connection pins (figure 15) are provided on each device.
Besides the supply pins, the input pins 15 and 16 are to be

Ozone Depleting Substances Policy Statement
It is the policy of TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic 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.
TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH semiconductor division 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 .
TEMIC 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 TEMIC products for any unintended or unauthorized
application, the buyer shall indemnify TEMIC 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
