CIRCUIT FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Power Supply (Pin 5 and Pin 7)
case the level is set at 5°C. This configuration can be useful
for low temperature inertia systems.
The application uses a current source supplied by a single
high voltage rectifier in series with a power dropping resistor.
Sawtooth Generator
An integrated shunt regulator delivers a V
voltage of
EE
In order to comply with European norms, the ON/OFF
period on the load must exceed 30 seconds. This is achieved
by an internal digital sawtooth which performs the
proportional regulation without any additional component.
The sawtooth signal is added to the reference applied to the
comparator negative input. Figure 2 shows the regulation
improvement using the proportional band action.
– 8.6 V with respect to Pin 7. The current used by the total
regulating system can be shared in four functional blocks: IC
supply, sensing bridge, triac gate firing pulses and zener
current. The integrated zener, as in any shunt regulator,
absorbs the excess supply current. The 50 Hz pulsed supply
current is smoothed by the large value capacitor connected
between Pins 5 and 7.
Noise Immunity
Temperature Sensing (Pin 3)
The noisy environment requires good immunity. Both the
voltage reference and the comparator hysteresis minimize
the noise effect on the comparator input. In addition the
effective triac triggering is enabled every 1/3 sec.
The actual temperature is sensed by a negative
temperature coefficient element connected in a resistor
divider fashion. This two element network is connected
between the ground terminal Pin 5 and the reference voltage
– 5.5 V available on Pin 1. The resulting voltage, a function of
the measured temperature, is applied to Pin 3 and internally
compared to a control voltage whose value depends on
several elements: Sawtooth, Temperature Reduction and
Hysteresis Adjust. (Refer to Application Information.)
Failsafe
Output pulses are inhibited by the “failsafe” circuit if the
comparator input voltage exceeds the specified threshold
voltage. This would occur if the temperature sensor circuit is
open.

Comparator
When the positive input (Pin 3) receives a voltage greater
than the internal reference value, the comparator allows the
triggering logic to deliver pulses to the triac gate. To improve
the noise immunity, the comparator has an adjustable
