General Description
Integrated circuit, U 217 B, is a triac controller for zero (temperature control), therefore in such cases a two point

resistor RSync.
To avoid d.c. load on the mains, full wave logic guarantee
that complete mains cycles are used for load switching.
Fire pulse is released, when the inverted input of the
comparator is negative (Pin 4) with respect to the
non–inverted input (Pin 3) and internal reference voltage.
A ramp generator with free selectable duration is possible
with capacitor C2 at Pin 2, which provides not only
symmetrical pulse burst control (Figure 3) but also control
with superimposed proportional band (Figure 10). Ramp
voltage available at capacitor C2 is decoupled across
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 Figure 3 Pin 1 internal network

Firing Pulse Width tp, Figure 5

It depends on the latching current of the triac and its load
current. Firing pulse width is determined by the zero
crossing identification which can be influenced with the
help of sync. resistance (Rsync), (Figure 6).

Supply Voltage
The integrated circuit U 217 B which also contains internal
voltage limiting, can be connected via diode (D1 ) and
resistor (R1 ) with the mains supply. An internal climb
circuit limits the voltage between Pin 5 and 7 to a typical
value of 9.25 V.
Series resistance R1 can be calculated (Figures 7 and 8) as
follows:
Vmin – VSmax (VM – VS)2
R1max = 0.85 ; P(R1) =
2 Itot 2 R1
Itot = IS + IP + Ix whereas
VM = Mains voltage
VS = Limiting voltage of the IC
Itot = Total current consumption
IS = Current requirement of the IC (without load)
I = Current requirement of other peripheral components
P(R1) = Power dissipation at R1

Triac Firing Current (Pulse)

It depends on the triac requirement. It can be limited with
gate series resistance, which is calculated as follows:

OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES POLICY STATEMENT

It is the policy of TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH to

1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements and

2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems
with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on the
environment.

Of particular concern is the control or elimination of releases into the atmosphere of those substances which are known
as ozone depleting substances ( ODSs).

The Montreal Protocol ( 1987) and its London Amendments ( 1990) will soon severely restrict the use of ODSs and forbid
their use within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban on these
substances.

TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH semiconductor division has been able to use its policy of continuous
improvements to eliminate the use of any ODSs listed in the following documents.

1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively

2 . Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental Protection
Agency ( EPA) in the USA and

3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C ( transitional substances ) respectively.

TEMIC can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with and do not contain ozone depleting substances.

We reserve the right to make changes without further notice to improve technical design.
Parameters can vary in different applications. All operating parameters must be validated for each customer
application by customer. Should Buyer use TEMIC products for any unintended or unauthorized application, Buyer
shall indemnify TEMIC against all claims, costs, damages, and expenses, arising out of, directly or indirectly, any
claim of personal damage, injury or death associated with such unintended or unauthorized use.
