DESCRIPTION
The IL421x consists of an AlGaAs IRLED optically
coupled to a pair of photosensitive non-zero crossing
SCR chips and are connected inversely parallel to
form a TRIAC. These three semiconductors are
assembled in a six pin 0.3 inch dual in-line package,
using high insulation double molded, over/under leadframe construction.
High input sensitivity is achieved by using an emitter
follower phototransistor and a cascaded SCR predriver resulting in an LED trigger current of less than
1.3 mA (DC).
The IL421x uses two discrete SCRs resulting in a
commutating dv/dt of greater than 10KV/ µ
of a proprietary
greater than 10KV/ µ
FET that is enhanced when high dv/dt spikes occur
between MT1 and MT2 of the TRIAC. The FET clamps
the base of the phototransistor when conducting, disabling the internal SCR predriver.
The blocking voltage of up to 800 V permits control of
off-line voltages up to 240 VAC, with a safety factor of
more than two, and is sufficient for as much as 380
V AC. Current handling capability is up to 300 mA
RMS, continuous at 25 °
The IL421x isolates low-voltage logic from 120, 240,
and 380 VAC lines to control resistive inductive, or
capacitive loads including motors solenoids, high current thyristors or TRIAC and relays.
Applications include solid-state relays, industrial controls, office equipment, and consumer appliances.
dv/dt clamp results in a static dv/dt of
