Lamp dimmers and their circuits must be compact, energy efficient and able to operate reliably in confined spaces. Lamp brightness is varied by controlling the conduction time of each half-cycle of ...
Several different technologies and designs are available among solid-state switches today. The major families are the standard Triacs (triode for alternating current), the snubberless Triacs, and the ...
Fairchild Semiconductor introduced the FL7730 single-stage primary side regulation (PSR) controller with power factor correction (PFC) for use with triac and analog dimming compatibility. Fairchild ...
