APPLICATIONS:
Electronic dimmers for wall switch control of ceiling mounted
lighting, foot switch control of large floor lamps and hand switch
control of table lamps.
BACKGROUND AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
A typical electronic dimmer may not operate properly with the in-
ductive load encountered when driving a transformer-coupled
low-voltage halogen lamp. The inductive load can cause a
phenomenon called half-waving, wherein the triac fires in al-
ternate half-cycles only, which may lead to the thermal de-
struction of the load transformer. The problems encountered in
driving an inductive load are addressed by the LS7634/LS7635
family of CMOS ICs as follows:
1. Delayed triac cut-off.
When a trigger pulse is due to occur at a conduction
angle which coincides with the on-state of the triac, the
trigger pulse is delayed until the triac has turned off. This
eliminates the underlying cause of half-waving.
2. Delayed triac turn-on and safety shutdown
With inductive loads, the holding current needed to maintain
the triac On-State, may seriously lag behind the gate trigger
signal causing the triac to turn off prematurely. If the
frequency of occurrences of the delayed turn-on exceeds
a preset threshold, a shutdown is initiated by turning
off the triac trigger pulses. The safety-shutdown threshold
value is accumulated in a 4-bit Up/Down counter.
The count increments for every occurrence of delayed
turn-on and decrements once every 8 SYNC pulses
(AC line cycles). The counter will not decrement below zero.
If the count reaches 15, the safety-shut-down is effected.

MODE
(Pin 2) - See Table 1
All variations of LS7634 and LS7635 can operate in 3 different
modes. The 3-state MODE input selects the operating modes:
Vss = Mode 0; Float = Mode 1; V
DD
= Mode 2
SYNC
(Pin 4) - See Figure 6
The AC line frequency is applied to this input. All internal timings
are synchronized to the AC. The Load On/Off status information
is also derived from this input.
SENS
(Pin 5) - See Table 1
A Logic 0 applied to this input alters the TRIG output either by
turning it on, turning it off or by changing its conduction angle.
Specifically which action takes place is dependent on the type of
activation of the SENS input, namely SHORT or LONG touch
and the prior state of TRIG output.
EXT
(Pin 6)
Same functionality as the SENS input, except that a Logic 1 is the
active level at this input. EXT input is intended to be operated
from a remote site with long cable connection, when noise can be
expected. The sampling method used at this input makes it less
sensitive to noise.
TRIG
(Pin 8)
The TRIG output is a low level pulse occurring once every half-
cycle of the AC and is intended to drive the gate of a triac in se-
ries with the load. The conduction angle, ø, of the TRIG pulse can
be varied by means of LONG and SHORT touches at either the
SENS or the EXT input.

The differences among all versions of LS7634 and LS7635 are:
LS7634 (LS7634FO)
Upon power-up, the TRIG output is Off.
(Upon power-up, the TRIG output is On at maximum conduction angle.)
When a LONG touch is applied, the dimming direction automatically re-
verses whenever maximum or minimum conduction angles are reached.
LS7635 (LS7635FO)
Upon power-up, the TRIG output is Off.
(Upon power-up, the TRIG output is On at maximum conduction angle.)
When a LONG touch is applied, the dimming stops whenever maximum
or minimum conduction angles are reached. In order to change dimming
levels from maximum or minimum, LONG touch must be removed and
reapplied.The purpose of this feature is to allow the user to positively
locate maximum and minimum conduction angles.

LS7635 NOTE:
If the User applies a LONG Touch when the TRIG Conduc-
tion Angle is within a “few” degrees of Maximum or Mini-
mum, the TRIG Conduction Angle can move to Maximum or
Minimum and stop without the User being able to observe a
change in brightness. There-fore, the User should be in-
structed that if no change in brightness is observed in re-
sponse to a LONG Touch, the LONG Touch should be re
moved and reapplied in order to produce a change in bright-
ness.

A soft turn-on is produced by slewing up the conduction angle, ø, from minimum at the rate of 1.4
˚
/8.33ms (60Hz).
A soft turn-on is produced by slewing up ø, from minimum to memory.
Upon power-up the memory value is defaulted to maximum conduction angle.
“Memory” refers to the conduction angle, ø, which existed prior to the current off-state.
A soft turn-on is produced by slewing up ø from minimum to memory upon which the dimming is started.

Some electronic transformers may require larger
values of C2, sensitive gate triacs and snubber
networks. C2 values may have to be adjusted to be as
high as 0.47uF for 115VAC and 0.33uF for 220VAC.
The sensitive gate triacs are chosen for their low
holding current. Typical triacs are L4004L6 and L6004L6
for 115VAC and 220VAC applications, respectively.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE:
A typical implementation of the light dimmer circuit is shown in Fig. 5.
Here the brightness of the lamp is set by touching the touch plate.
The function of different components are as follows:
• The 5V DC supply for the chip is provided by Z, D1, R1, C2 and C4.
• R2 and C3 generate the filtered signal for the SYNC input
AC phase synchronization.
• R3 and C5 act as a filter circuit for the electronic extension.
If extensions are not used, the EXT input (Pin 6) should be
tied to Vss (Pin 7).
• R4, R5 and R6 set up the sensitivity of the SENS input.
• R8 provides current limiting and isolation between the chip
output and the triac gate.
• C1 and L are RFI filter circuits.
P
EXTENSIONS:
All switching and dimming functions can be
implemented by utilizing the EXT input. Use a pushbutton or
the electronic switch in conjunction with a Touch Plate as
shown in Figure 6. When the plate is touched, a logic high
level is generated at the EXT input of the IC for both half-
cycles of the line frequency. (See Figure 5)
