Description
The BRT21, BRT22, BRT23 product family consists
of AC switch optocouplers with zero voltage detec-
tors with two electrically insulated lateral power ICs
which integrate a thyrister system, a photo detector
and noise suppression at the output and an IR GaAs
diode input
High input sensitivity is achieved by using an emitter
follower phototransistor and an SCR predriver result-
ing in an LED trigger current of less than 2 mA or 3 mA
(DC). Inverse parallel SCRs provide commutating
dv/dt greater than 10 kV/µs
The zero cross line voltage detection circuit consists
of two MOSFETS and a photodiode.
THe BRT21/ 22/ 23 product family isolates low-volt-
age logic from 120, 230 and 380 VAC lines to control
resistive, inductive or capacitive loads including
motors, solenoids, high current thyristers or TRIAC
and relays.

Power Factor Considerations
A snubber isn’t needed to eliminate false operation of
the TRIAC driver because of the high static and com-
mutating dv/dt with loads between 1.0 and 0.8 power
factors. When inductive loads with power factors less
than 0.8 are being driven, include a RC snubber or a
single capacitor directly across the device to damp
the peak commutating dv/ dt spike. Normally a com-
mutating dv/dt causes a turning-off device to stay on
due to the stored energy remaining in the turning-off
device.
But in the case of a zero voltage crossing optotriac,
the commutating dv/dt spikes can inhibit one half of
the TRIAC from turning on. If the spike potential
exceeds the inhibit voltage of the zero cross detection
circuit, half of the TRIAC will be heldoff and not turn-
on. This hold-off condition can be eliminated by using
a snubber or capacitor placed directly across the
optotriac as shown in Figure 1. Note that the value of
the capacitor increases as a function of the load cur-
rent.
The hold-off condition also can be eliminated by pro-
viding a higher level of LED drive current. The higher
LED drive provides a larger photocurrent which
causes the phototransistor to turn-on before the com-
mutating spike has activated the zero cross network.
Figure 2 shows the relationship of the LED drive for
power factors of less than 1.0. The curve shows that
if a device requires 1.5 mA for a resistive load, then
1.8 times 2.7 mA) that amount would be required to
control an inductive load whose power factor is less
than 0.3.
