FUNCTIONAL BLOCK
DESCRIPTION
1. Limiter−Power Supply — Allows operation of
the CA3059 directly from an AC line. Suggested
dropping resistor (RS) values are given in the table
below.
2. Differential On/Off Sensing Amplifier — Tests
for condition of external sensors or input command
signals. Proportional control capability or hysteresis
may be implemented using this block.
3. Zero−Crossing Detector — Synchronizes the
output pulses to the zero voltage point of the AC cycle.
This synchronization eliminates RFI when used with
resistive loads.
4. Triac Drive — Supplies high−current pulses to
the external power controlling thyristor.
5. Protection Circuit — A built−in circuit may be
actuated, if the sensor opens or shorts, to remove the
drive current from the external triac.
6. Inhibit Capability — Thyristor firing may be
inhibited by the action of an internal diode gate at
Pin 1.
7. High Power DC Comparator Operation —
Operation in this mode is accomplished by connecting
Pin 7 to Pin 12 (thus overriding the action of the
zero−crossing detector). When Pin 13 is positive with
respect to Pin 9, current to the thyristor is continuous.
