Microcontroller meets needs of modern appliances
Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched a flash microcontroller specifically designed to meet the needs of modern home appliance applications including washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers.
Maximum inhibit voltage for zero-crossing is just 20V, contributing to reduction of EMI emissions.
The LED and triac are encased in a single 6-lead plastic DIP, offering a compact solution which conforms to the clearance and creepage requirements of international standards.
The TLP3082 is recognised by UL 1577 and can be used to ensure conformance to IEC/EN/DIN EN60747-5-2 safety standards.
The new device is designed for use in a wide range of applications, in particular those that require control of 240V mains voltages.
These include washing machines, dishwashers, heaters, office automation, industrial systems, solid state relays (SSRs) and other AC power and triac driven applications.
The TLP3082 features a low trigger current of just 10mA, and can deliver a maximum on-state output current of 100mA.
Maximum leakage in inhibited state is 600uA.
