STEVAL-ILD003V1 Analog wall dimmer for CFL/LED lamps based on the TS820 (EU version 220 V) Data brief − production data Features ■ Line voltage: 198 - 264 V 50/60 Hz ■ Maximum operating ambient temperature: 60 °C ■ Incandescent 230 V lamp power: – Minimum power: 20 W – Maximum power: 350 W (without heatsinks mounted on SCRs(a)) ■ Dimmable lamps that can be used: – CFL lamp (typically 14 W) – LED lamp (typically 6 W) ■ RoHS compliant Description The purpose of the STEVAL-ILD003V1 demonstration board is to evaluate ST’s SCR dimming solution for low-consumption lamps, particularly CFL and LED lamps, eliminating flicker, and to be able to directly test most dimmable loads currently on the market. Through-hole technology is used for the most important components such as the LC filter, gate resistor, turn-on delay capacitor, etc., in order to allow board modification, if needed. AC light dimmers based on SCR dimming technology eliminate flickering as a continuous current is applied through the gate. An SCR dimmer could easily replace a standard low-cost analog Triac light dimmer by using a Diaccontrolled circuit. a. Higher power could be reached with a different filter inductor and SCR heatsink.
