For applications where the SLB 0586 A has been used, it is possible to replace the SLB 0586 A by the SLB 0587 if the appropriate external wiring in accordance with the data sheet is maintained. The SLB 0587 is a CMOS IC and the advanced version of the version SLB 0586 A. The IC permits the design of digital electronic phase controls for operation of incandes-cent lamps, low-voltage halogen lamps with in-series connected transformers, and universal as well as split-pole motors.

Functional Description With the SLB 0587 it is possible to generate one defined current pulse per line half cycle. Together with a triac and a few extra passive components, a line-powered phase-control circuit can be designed. The phase-control angle (turn-ON time of the triac) can be set on the two control inputs, pins 5 and 6, of the IC. The voltage supply to the IC in a two-wire connection is ensured by limiting the angle of current flow to approx. 152°. This makes it simple to exchange mechanical wall switches in conventional lighting installations. The IC's internal logic is synchronized with the line by PLL. Thus a phase control range independent of the line frequency is obtained. Operation with Low-Voltage Halogen Lamps In normal, resistive operation of a phase control circuit there is alternately part of the positive and negative line-voltage half cycle applied to the load via the triac that has started to conduct because of the trigger pulse. Operation of the circuit with a transformer and low-voltage halogen lamp connected is largely identical to the operation of a normal filament lamp due to the primarily resistive nature of the load. In operation with resistive and inductive portions of load, the zero crossing of the current compared to that of the line voltage line is delayed. In operation with heavily inductive loads (eg an idling transformer after lamp failure), a highly lossy state (half cycle operation) can occur after a fault, leading to thermal destruction of the transformer. Control mechanisms integrated into the SLB 0587 serve to protect the load from this situation. If, for instance, a trigger pulse is missing in a half cycle because of a fault, there will be a considerable increase in current in the transformer into the line shortly after the zero crossing of a voltage wave after the next firing of the triac at large phase-control angles. If the next trigger pulse comes into phase when the triac is still conducting because of the inductive current lag, it has no effect. It is only the subsequent trigger pulse that will fire the triac again. The case described above, where only one trigger pulse per line cycle leads to firing of the triac, can turn into a steady-state condition in the absence of further measures. The SLB 0587 provides the following features to prevent Steady-State Half-Cycle Operation: 1) Allowance for the conducting state of the triac when setting the trigger pulses. If a trigger pulse, determined by the set firing angle and status of the internal PLL, coincides with the conducting phase of the triac, the trigger pulse will not be output to the triac until after the zero crossing of the current wave. Detection of high saturation currents at angles of current flow of more than 180° by sampling the synchronizing input levels. If the frequency of such peak situation current exceeds a value defined in the IC, there will be a safety cut-out.

Retriggering if the triac does not remain triggered after the trigger pulse.This can occur in particular on highly inductive loads (idling transformer with a small magnetizing current) and insensitive triacs. Approx. 1.5 ms (1.25 ms at 60 Hz) after each trigger pulse from SLB 0587 the conducting state on the triac is sampled via pin 4 of the IC. If the triac still remains turned off, one-shot retriggering will follow. If the frequency of retriggering exceeds an internally defined limit value, there will be a cutout.
Safety Cutout The purpose of the safety cutout is to prevent thermal destruction of primarily inductive loads (idling transformer) in the event of very lossy instances of operation. Despite the safety precautions that are integrated, you should only use transformers with thermal protection. Safety cutout occurs when the count of an 4-bit up/down counter reaches 15. The count is determined by the ratio of the up/down counting rates. The up-counting rate is the appearance of high saturation currents and retriggering. A down counting increment is produced when the count is other than zero at every fifteenth line half-wave. The count is zeroed in the off state and when short line outages are detected. Operation (Figure 3) The integrated circuit can distinguish the instructions ON/OFF and Change of Phase Control Angle by the duration of sensor touching. Turning ON/OFF Short touching (50 to 400 ms) of the sensor area turns the lamp ON or OFF, depending on its preceding state. The switching process is activated as soon as the sensor is released. Setting of the Phase Control Angle If the sensor is touched for a longer period (exceeding 400 ms) the angle of current flow will be varied continuously. It runs accross the control loop in approximately 7.6 s up and down (e.g. bright dark bright) until the sensor is released. Easy operation, even in the lower brightness range of incandescent lamps, is enabled by the following procedure: The phase control angle is controlled such that the lamp brightness varies physiologically linear with the operating time and pauses for a short period when the minimum brightness is reached. Using R 2 and C 4 (synchronizing input) in the application circuit (figure 4), the angle of current flow can be controlled for purely resistive loads between 45° and 152° of the half-wave.

Interference Immunity Components C 3, C 6 and R 3 (figure 4) provide for a stable operating voltage and thus for errorfree working of the circuit, even in the presence of high frequency line interferences (e.g. caused by cutting in and out of mainly active loads). In the event of short line interruption ( 200 ms) the set circuit state with the external wiring shown in figure 4 will be maintained. After prolonged line outages (V S 3.6 V) the circuit will go into the OFF-state. Upon line outage the synchronization of the internal logic with the line is lost. If the line outage lasts less than three line cycles, the phasing in of the PLL becomes visible by a brief flickering. The setting of the PLL can be influenced within certain limits by the selection that is made with C 5 and R 10. In general terms, smaller ratings for C 5 and larger ratings for R10 will produce shorter settling times of the PLL. With more inert PLL characteristics there are slightly better values for rippe-control stability (visible fluctuations in brightness when operating incandescent lamps and with ripple-control signal on the line). If line outages last more than three line cycles, there is blanking for approx. 200 ms after the line recovers so that the settling process of the PLL is not visible. Operation of Extensions Long extension lines in installations cause voltages to be coupled in because of their stray capacitances and phase capacitances. Internal limiting structures and appropriate evaluating logic ensure that the circuit can work without interference for stray and phase capacitances up to 100 nF. Even voltage drops up to 10 V in the phase conductor between the circuit and the extension button being in phase with the dimming voltage have no effect on the working of the circuit. Especially at operation with long extension lines, the RC-network R 10, C5 should be connected between pins 3 and 7 (figure 4).

For specific applications C 4 and R 2 can be varied according to figure 5. An increase for C 4 and R 2 causes a slight reduction of the lamp brightness but at the same time an improvement of interference immunity of the internal PLL against line voltage spikes.
