MOC3051M, MOC3052M, MOC3053M APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Basic Triac Driver Circuit LED Trigger Current vs. Pulse Width
The random phase triac drivers MOC3051M, Random phase triac drivers are designed to be phase MOC3052M and MOC3053M can allow snubberless controllable. They may be triggered at any phase angle operations in applications where load is resistive and the within the AC sine wave. Phase control may be external generated noise in the AC line is below its accomplished by an AC line zero cross detector and a guaranteed dv/dt withstand capability. For these variable pulse delay generator which is synchronized to the applications, a snubber circuit is not necessary when a noise zero cross detector. The same task can be accomplished by insensitive power triac is used. Figure 7 shows the circuit a microprocessor which is synchronized to the AC zero diagram. The triac driver is directly connected to the triac crossing. The phase controlled trigger current may be a very main terminal 2 and a series resistor R which limits the short pulse which saves energy delivered to the input LED. current to the triac driver. Current limiting resistor R must LED trigger pulse currents shorter than 100 ms must have have a minimum value which restricts the current into the increased amplitude as shown on Figure 4. This graph shows driver to maximum 1 A. the dependency of the trigger current IFT versus the pulse The power dissipation of this current limiting resistor and width. IFT in this graph is normalized in respect to the the triac driver is very small because the power triac carries minimum specified IFT for static condition, which is the load current as soon as the current through driver and specified in the device characteristic. The normalized IFT current limiting resistor reaches the trigger current of the has to be multiplied with the devices guaranteed static power triac. The switching transition times for the driver is trigger current. only one micro second and for power triacs typical four Example: micro seconds. IFT = 10 mA, Trigger PW = 4 ms IF (pulsed) = 10 mA × 3 = 30 mA

This assures that the triac driver has time to switch Industrial control applications do specify a maximum off.
