Intelligent Triac Controller
Description of Block Diagram
Voltage Regulator
The chip is supplied from the AC line voltage, by a
half wave rectifi er. The voltage at pin VDDA is limited
to ~ 15.5V. The digital part and some of the peripheral blocks are supplied by internally generated VDD
~ 5V.
Analog Power on Reset
This block tracks the voltage at VDDA, and permits
generation of firing pulses for the triac only if VDDA >
~13V. It is considered otherwise that the motor is not
properly supplied by the mains.
Oscillator
There is an on chip oscillator. All timing constraints
inside the chip are derived from this clock.
FLL
A frequency locked loop circuit is implemented to
obtain a clock frequency from a current controlled
oscillator, by using the mains frequency as a reference. A successive approximation algorithm is used
at start up to minimize the time for the oscillator adjustm ent.
Reference Voltage
This voltage is used to supply the external potentiometer for th e definition of different speed setti ngs.
Logic
This block performs all control functions to realize
time synchronization, smooth soft start, and proper
triac firing, so that motor runs at a defined speed.
Triac Driver
This output is able to drive directly a triac. It defines
the triac gate current and operates as current generator. There is no need of external resistor for current limitation.
Auto Retriggering
This block tracks if the triac is on after each firing
pulse. If the triac is off 20us after a firing pulse, a
new pulse is generated.
Thermal Protection
The chip is able to supply an external protection circuitry, typically an NTC resistor with reference resistor , to track the ambient temperature. If the vol tage at
THP equals Vref/2 the protection is activated and
the chip sets the firing angle defined by the value in
ROM address 1. A resistor connected to pin FB can
introduce hysteresis in the detection level.

good synchronization, so firing pulses driving the
