Thyristors - TRIACs

The Q8008L5 is a type of programmable open-loop zero-crossing TRIAC, a type of semiconductor device known as a thyristor. The use of TRIACs is widespread in applications where AC line voltage needs to be controlled or switched. This article will discuss the Q8008L5\'s application field and working principle.

Application Field:

The Q8008L5 is suited for use in dimming circuits, motor speed control, lighting control, and other AC line voltage control applications. It is also suitable for low-power applications such as household appliances, small motors, and transformers. Additionally, the Q8008L5 is used in the development and control of industrial automation systems. Some of the applications for which it is best suited include general motor control, lamp dimming circuit design, power control, and solenoid control.

Working Principle:

As a thyristor, the Q8008L5 relies on an external Gate signal to commence conduction. When a positive Gate signal is applied, it activates the device’s half-bridge to begin conduction. During the positive half-cycle (when the current flows from positive to negative), conduction commences when the anode’s voltage reaches its threshold voltage. During the negative half-cycle (when the current flows from negative to positive), conduction commences when the cathode’s voltage reaches its threshold voltage. This is known as Zero Crossing.

The Q8008L5 is most notable for its programmable Gate signal. Unlike other TRIACs, the Q8008L5 can be programmed to begin conduction at whatever point its Gate signal reaches, allowing for more precise control over AC line voltage. This also allows for more efficient power management, since the Q8008L5 does not require a large voltage differential for it to begin conduction.

In addition to its programmable Gate signal, the Q8008L5 also features a fast start-up time, meaning that it will begin conduction faster than other TRIACs, allowing for more efficient power delivery. This faster start-up time is achieved through the use of a Start-up capacitance circuit, which stores electrical energy and reduces the time required for the Gate signal to reach its conduction threshold.

Conclusion:

The Q8008L5 is a type of thyristor, more specifically a TRIAC, which is used in AC line voltage control and switching applications. Its most notable feature is its programmable Gate signal, which allows for more precise and efficient control over AC line voltage. Additionally, it features a fast start-up time, reducing the time required for conduction to begin and improving power delivery efficiency.
