Non-insulated power supplies are often required when a power semiconductor, which has to be controlled using this supply, has its drive reference connected to the mains (line or neutral terminal).

This document thoroughly discusses about random phase crossing triac drivers and their most common applications. It will start off with a basic electrical description of triac drivers. Following then ...

Dialog Semiconductor has announced the iW3690, a revolutionary driver IC for LED smart lighting that combines digital control (I2C) with the company's advanced phase-cut TRIAC dimming technology. For ...

To understand the technology associated with practical LED dimming we first have to look at the technology associated with triac-based incandescent lamp dimmers. The typical triac lamp dimmer circuit ...
