Lamp dimmers and their circuits must be compact, energy efficient and able to operate reliably in confined spaces. Lamp brightness is varied by controlling the conduction time of each half-cycle of ...
Fairchild Semiconductor introduced the FL7730 single-stage primary side regulation (PSR) controller with power factor correction (PFC) for triac and analog dimming compatibility. The FL7730 circuit is ...
Most dimmers use pulse width modulation (PWM) to control the amount of power that is delivered to the lamp. Those that come bundled with a switch faceplate control the firing angle of a Triac on the ...
