T2117
Zero-Voltage Switch with Adjustable Ramp
Description
The integrated circuit, T2117, is designed as a zero-
voltage switch in bipolar technology. It is used to control
resistive loads at mains by a triac in zero-crossing mode.
A ramp generator allows power control function by
period group control, whereas full-wave logic guarantees
that full mains cycles are used for load switching.

General Description
The integrated circuit T2117 is a triac controller for zero-
crossing mode. It is designed to control power in
switching resistive loads of mains supplies.
Information regarding supply sync. is provided at Pin 8
via resistor R
Sync
. To avoid DC load on the mains, the full-
wave logic guarantees that complete mains cycles are
used for load switching.
A fire pulse is released when the inverting input of the
comparator is negative (Pin 4) with respect to the non-
inverting input (Pin 3) and internal reference voltage. A
ramp generator with free selectable duration can be
performed by capacitor C
2
at Pin 2. The ramp function is
used for open-loop control (figure 4), but also for applica-
tion with proportional band regulation (figure 11). Ramp
voltage available at capacitor C
2
is decoupled across the
emitter follower at Pin l. To maintain the lamp flicker
specification, ramp duration is adjusted according to the
controlling load. In practice, interference should be
avoided (temperature control). Therefore, a two-point
control is preferred to proportional control. One can use
internal reference voltage for simple applications. In that
case, Pin 3 is inactive and connected to Pin 7 (GND), see
figure 13.
Triac Firing Current (Pulse)
This depends on the triac requirement. It can be limited
with gate series resistance which is calculated as follows:

Firing Pulse Width t

(Figure 5)
This depends on the latching current of the triac and its
load current. The firing pulse width is determined by the
zero-crossing detection which can be influenced with the
help of sync. resistance, R
sync
, (figure 6).

Supply Voltage
The T2117 contains voltage limiting and can be con-
nected with the mains supply via the diode D
1
and the
resistor R
1
. Supply voltage between Pin 5 and 7 is limited
to a typical value of 9.5 V.
