CA3059, CA3079
Zero-Voltage Switches for 50Hz-60Hz and
400Hz Thyristor Control Applications
Description
The CA3059 and CA3079 zero-voltage switches are mono-
lithic silicon integrated circuits designed to control a thyristor
in a variety of AC power switching applications for AC input
voltages of 24V, 120V, 208/230V, and 277V at 50Hz-60Hz
and 400Hz. Each of the zero-voltage switches incorporates
4 functional blocks (see the Functional Block Diagram) as
follows:
1. Limiter-Power Supply - Permits operation directly from an
AC line.
2. Differential On/Off Sensing Amplifier - Tests the condition
of external sensors or command signals. Hysteresis or
proportional-control capability may easily be implement-
ed in this section.
3. Zero-Crossing Detector - Synchronizes the output pulses
of the circuit at the time when the AC cycle is at zero volt-
age point; thereby eliminating radio-frequency interfer-
ence (RFI) when used with resistive loads.
4. Triac Gating Circuit - Provides high-current pulses to the
gate of the power controlling thyristor.
In addition, the CA3059 provides the following important
auxiliary functions (see the Functional Block Diagram).
1. A built-in protection circuit that may be actuated to remove
drive from the triac if the sensor opens or shorts.
10
2. Thyristor firing may be inhibited through the action of an
internal diode gate connected to Terminal 1.
3. High-power dc comparator operation is provided by over-
riding the action of the zero-crossing detector. This is ac-
complished by connecting Terminal 12 to Terminal 7.
Gate current to the thyristor is continuous when Terminal
13 is positive with respect to Terminal 9.
The CA3059 and CA3079 are supplied in 14 lead dual-in-
line plastic packages.

for Pulse Duration. However, the series resistor (R

) must have the indicated value, shown in the chart in the Functional Block Diagram,
for the specified input voltage.
2. Pulse Duration in 50Hz applications is approximately 15% longer than shown in Figure 7(b).

This chart gives the range of voltages which can be applied to the terminals listed horizontally with respect to the terminals listed vertically.
For example, the voltage range of horizontal Terminal 6 to vertical Terminal 4 is 2V to -10V.
NOTES:
1. Resistance should be inserted between Terminal 5 and external supply or line voltage for limiting current into Terminal 5 to less than
50mA.
2. Resistance should be inserted between Terminal 14 and external supply for limiting current into Terminal 14 to less than 2mA.
3. For the CA3079 indicated terminal is internally connected and, therefore, should not be used.
4. Voltages are not normally applied between these terminals; however, voltages appearing between these terminals are safe, if the spec-
ified voltage limits between all other terminals are not exceeded.
5. For CA3079 (0V to -10V).
