Several different technologies and designs are available among solid-state switches today. The major families are the standard Triacs (triode for alternating current), the snubberless Triacs, and the ...

One of the biggest challenges for new, energy-efficient CFL and LED-based lights that will replace incandescents is working with existing triac-based dimmer switches. Triac dimmers vary widely in both ...

Fairchild Semiconductor introduced the FL7730 single-stage primary side regulation (PSR) controller with power factor correction (PFC) for use with triac and analog dimming compatibility. Fairchild ...

It’s a wonderful thing to see a clever hack repair instead of disposing of a product. The best repair approach is finding exact replacement components, but sometimes exact components can’t be sourced ...
