TRIAC Circuits

  • CIRCUIT FORMS DIVIDE BY 1.5 COUNTER
    Two inexpensive ICs divide a TTL clock signal by 1.5. By following the circuit with another flip/flop, you could also generate a divide by three function.

  • HONEYBEE COUNTER
    I designed a circuit similar to this one a long time ago to help a beekeeper count the number of bees going into or out of a hive. The low power circuit uses a slotted opto-sensor to detect the passing bees. The circuit advances an electronic counting module whenever a honeybee passes through the sensor. The device only counts the number of bees going through the sensor. A different circuit would be needed to count the number of bees only going out or only coming into the hive.
  • SOLID STATE RELAY REQUIRES ONLY 50uA DRIVE CURRENT
    This circuit demands a control current that is 100 times smaller than that needed by a typical optically isolated solid state relays. It is ideal for battery-powered systems. Using a combination of a high current TRIAC and a very sensitive low current SCR, the circuit can control about 600 watts of power to load while providing full isolation and transient protection.
