Note: (A): the triac is always fired by a negative gate current pulse (Quadrants II and III).
(B): the triac is fired by a negative gate current via D1 when A1 is grounded (QII) and a positive gate current via D2 and T1 when A1
is at +Vbat (QI).
Going further
Starting from this concept using only one triac per motor, we can imagine a "smart door" board designed
to control the functions set up in a car front door (see Figure 9). This solution provide the lowest cost per
channel.
