INPUT/OUTPUT DESCRIPTION:
APPLICATIONS:
Electronic dimmers for wall switch control of ceiling mounted
lighting, foot switch control of large floor lamps and hand switch
control of table lamps.
BACKGROUND AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
A typical electronic dimmer may not operate properly with the inductive load encountered when driving a magnetic transformercoupled low-voltage halogen lamp. The inductive load can cause
a phenomenon called half-waving, wherein the triac fires in alternate half-cycles only, which may lead to the thermal destruction of the load transformer. The problems encountered in
driving an inductive load are addressed by the LS7631/LS7632
CMOS ICs as follows:
1. Compensation for delayed triac cut-off.
When a trigger pulse is due to occur at a conduction
angle which coincides with the on-state of the triac,
the trigger pulse is delayed until the triac has turned off.
This eliminates the underlying cause of half-waving.
.
2. Compensation for delayed triac turn-on.
At the set conduction angle, a triac trigger pulse of 130.2µs
(60Hz) is issued by the IC. If the triac fails to fire, a second
trigger pulse of 260.4µs width is issued 1ms later as a
second attempt to fire the triac during the same half-cycle.
3. Safety-shutdown.
If the frequency of occurrences of the delayed turn-on exceeds
a preset threshold, a shutdown is initiated by turning off the
triac trigger pulses. The safety-shutdown threshold value is
accumulated in a 4-bit Up/Down counter. The count
increments for every occurrence of delayed turn-on and
decrements once every 8 SYNC pulses (AC line cycles).
The counter will not decrement below zero. If the count
reaches 15, the safety-shut-down is effected.

VDD (Pin 1) Supply voltage positive terminal.
Vss (Pin 7) Supply voltage negative terminal.
MODE (Pin 2) - See Table 1
Both LS7631 and LS7632 can operate in 3 different modes.
The 3-state MODE input selects the operating modes:
Vss = Mode 0; Float = Mode 1; VDD = Mode 2
CAP (Pin 3) - PLL filter capacitor input. See Figure 5.
SYNC (Pin 4) - See Figure 5
The AC line frequency is applied to this input. All internal timings
are synchronized to the AC phase through a PLL circuit.
The Load On/Off status information is also derived from this input.
SENS (Pin 5) - See Table 1
A Logic 0 applied to this input alters the TRIG output either by
turning it on, turning it off or by changing its conduction angle.
Specifically which action takes place is dependent on the type of
activation of the SENS input, namely SHORT or LONG touch
and the prior state of TRIG output.
EXT (Pin 6)
Same functionality as the SENS input, except that a Logic 1 is the
active level at this input. EXT input is intended to be operated
from a remote site with long cable connection, when noise can be
expected. The sampling method used at this input makes it less
sensitive to noise.
TRIG (Pin 8)
The TRIG output is a low level pulse occurring once every halfcycle of the AC and is intended to drive the gate of a triac in series with the load. The conduction angle, ø, of the TRIG pulse can
be varied by means of LONG and SHORT touches at either the
SENS or the EXT input.
The functional differences between LS7631 and LS7632 are:
LS7632 NOTE: If the User applies a LONG Touch when
the TRIG Conduction Angle is within a “few” degrees of
Maximum or Minimum, the TRIG Conduction Angle can
move to Maximum or Minimum and stop without the User
being able to observe a change in brightness. Therefore,
the User should be instructed that if no change in brightness is observed in response to a LONG Touch, the
LONG Touch should be removed and reapplied in order to
produce a change in brightness.
LS7631 - When a LONG touch is applied, the dimming direction automatically reverses whenever maximum or minimum conduction angles are reached.
LS7632 - When a LONG touch is applied, the dimming stops whenever maximum or minimum conduction angles are reached. In order to
change dimming levels from maximum or minimum, LONG touch must
be removed and reapplied. The purpose of this feature is to allow the
user to positively locate maximum and minimum conduction angles.

A soft turn-on is produced by slewing up the conduction angle, ø, from minimum at the rate of 1.4˚/8.33ms (60Hz).
There are a total of 84 discrete steps of ø.
A soft turn-on is produced by slewing up ø, from minimum to memory.
Upon power-up the memory value is defaulted to maximum conduction angle.
“Memory” refers to the conduction angle, ø, which existed prior to the current off-state.
A soft turn-on is produced by slewing up ø from minimum to memory upon which the dimming is started.
NO = Dimming direction does not reverse from prior dimming direction.
YES = Dimming direction does reverse from prior dimming direction. N/A = Does not apply.

For LS7632 when minimum ø is reached, dimming direction reverses only if the LONG Touch is terminated and reapplied.

DISCUSSION: REPLACEMENT FOR SLB0587
There are minor design differences between LS7631 and SLB0587
requiring component value changes to the external application circuitry.
• The LS7631 SENS and EXT input switching levels differ from SLB0587.
This can require external input resistor ratios to be changed.
• The LS7631 PLL characteristics differ from the SLB0587. In order to
achieve optimum PLL stability, LS7631 requires a 0.02uF Filter Cap
connected between Pin 3 and VSS while SLB0587 requires a 100nF
Filter Cap with a series 330k Ohm resistor connected between
Pin 3 and VSS.
Adjusting the application circuit for these differences will result in LS7631
functioning the same as SLB0587.

EXTENSIONS: All switching and dimming functions can be
implemented by utilizing the EXT input. Use a pushbutton or
the electronic switch in conjunction with a Touch Plate as
shown in Figure 6. When the plate is touched, a logic high
level is generated at the EXT input of the IC for both halfcycles of the line frequency. (See Figure 5)

APPLICATION EXAMPLE:
A typical implementation of the light dimmer circuit is shown in Fig. 5.
Here the brightness of the lamp is set by touching the touch plate.
The function of different components are as follows:
• The 5V DC supply for the chip is provided by Z, D1, R1, C2 and C5.
• R2 and C4 generate the filtered signal for the SYNC input
for synchronizing the internal PLL with the line frequency.
• R3 and C6 act as a filter circuit for the electronic extension.
If extensions are not used, the EXT input (Pin 6) should be
tied to Vss (Pin 7).
• R4, R5 and R6 set up the sensitivity of the SENS input.
• C3 is the filter capacitor for the internal PLL.
• R8 provides current limiting and isolation between the chip
output and the triac gate.
• C1 and L are RFI filter circuits.
