The circuits are designed to operate with a wide variety of lamp sizes ranging from small table lamps to large floor lamps. The AGC Loop automatically adjusts Touch Sensitivity to be independent of lamp size. There are 3 different Brightness Step Sequences for each version of the IC which can be selected by the Three-State MODE pin as shown in Table 1. TABLE 1.

The delays are shown in Table 2 for 50Hz and 60Hz operation along with Delivered Power as a percentage of Full Power. Figure 2 illustrates the delay. TABLE 2.

OUTPUT DELAY (Td) SYNC (Pin 2) TRIG(Pin 8) Td Td INPUT/OUTPUT DESCRIPTION: CLOCK Input (Pin 1) An external resistor connected between this input and VDD, along with an internal capacitor and oscillator stage, generates a clock which is used for all timing functions. The recommended value of this resistor for 50Hz and 60Hz operation is specified in the ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS. The resistor value determines the Brightness Levels produced. (See Table 2) SYNC Input (Pin 2) 50 or 60Hz AC input for zero crossing detection. CONTROL I/O (Pin 5) An external R-C network connected between this pin and VDD establishes the controlling feedback for the AGC Loop. MODE Input (Pin 6) A three-state input used to select the desired Brightness Step Sequence (See Table 1). The MODE Input may be changed during operation. VSS (Pin 7) Supply voltage negative terminal. VDD (Pin 3) Supply voltage positive terminal. TOUCH Input (Pin 4) Input for sensing that a touch has been made on a lamp surface or other touch plate. TRIG (Pin 8) The TRIG output produces a negative going pulse every half-cycle of the SYNC input to trigger the triac. The delay, Td, of the pulse with respect to the SYNC signal determines the Brightness Level produced.

(1) Resistor should be placed adjacent to Pin 1. NOTE 1: Connect MODE (Pin 6) for desired Brightness Step Sequence (See Table 1). NOTE 2: A good PCB layout using through-hole components will provide protection for ESD introduced at the Touch Plate in the range of 25kV. Using surface mount components and/or a poor PCB layout can reduce the ESD protection. The OEM can increase the ESD protection provided by the product with any combination of the following steps: Step 1: The most effective and least costly way to increase ESD protection is to create a spark gap around the Touch Plate input on the PCB. This will increase ESD protection on a good PCB layout to abut 35kV. The gap should be made with a split metal ring with each side of the metal ring connected back to opposite sides of the AC line. This ensures that a path for the spark back to house ground through AC Neutral exists independent of line plug polarity. The split ring and the center conduction plate should be constructed so that the spacing between them conforms to UL requirements. The spark gap will absorb most of the ESD leaving a remnant of about 10kV for the rest of the circuit to absorb. Step 2: Increase R3 from 1kΩ to 5.1kΩ and add C7, a 0.1µF capacitor, between VDD and Vss. (A minimal loss in touch sensitivity may be experienced.) Step 3: Replace diodes D2 and D3 (1N4148) with Schottky diodes (1N5819 or similar) 7538/39-091100-4
