For switching high-powered loads from a microcontroller, or for switching AC loads in general, most of us will reach into the ...

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 ...

From time to time I get requests to make some high power switching, so I decided to design a digital dimmer module that could handle a lot of different situations. The original requirements laid down ...

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 ...
