Modern electronics is indispensable for every large model railroad system, and it provides a solution to almost every problem. Although ready-made products are exorbitantly expensive, clever ...

This application note describes a low-cost electric range control using TRIAC. This document covers the operation of mechanical thermostat and TRIAC operation. Triggering, phase control, zero-cross ...

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 ...

Fig 1. This efficient pre-regulator for a dc power supply uses an optical feedback loop to minimize dissipation rather than the traditional optically isolated TRIAC drivers. Fig 2. The PSpice ...
