One of the biggest challenges for new, energy-efficient CFL and LED-based lights that will replace incandescents is working with existing triac-based dimmer switches. Triac dimmers vary widely in both ...

The demand for modern touch-based control systems is rising quickly, driven by their sleek design, ease of use, and lack of ...

Hybrid relays combine a mechanical switch with a solid-state switch, and they are set up in parallel to control a single load ...

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 ...

Power-control modules are circuits comprising devices such as silicon-controlled rectifiers, triacs, power transistors, and power rectifier diodes. Power-control modules are circuits comprising ...

Diacs and triacs often are used for line-voltage control. They also are getting additional interest as part of Internet- and cell-phone-controlled power-line switches such as the Belkin WeMo Home ...
