Application Notes
Time Delay Relay Circuit
By combining a 555 timer IC with a triac, various time delays of
several seconds can be achieved for delayed activation of solid
state relays or switches. Figure AN1007.15 shows a solid state
timer delay relay using a sensitive gate triac and a 555 timer IC.
The 555 timer precisely controls time delay of operation using an
external resistor and capacitor, as illustrated by the resistor and
capacitor combination curves. (Figure AN1007.16)

IR Motion Control
An example of a more complex triac switch is an infrared (IR)
motion detector controller circuit. Some applications for this cir-
cuit are alarm systems, automatic lighting, and auto doorbells.
Figure AN1007.17 shows an easy- to-implement automatic light-
ing system using an infrared motion detector control circuit. A
commercially available LSI circuit HT761XB, from Holtek, inte-
grates most of the analog functions. This LSI chip, U2, contains
the op amps, comparators, zero crossing detection, oscillators,
and a triac output trigger. An external RC that is connected to the
OSCD pin determines the output trigger pulse width. (Holtek
Semiconductor Inc. is located at No.3, Creation Road II, Science-
Based Industrial Park, Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C.) Device U1 pro-
vides the infrared sensing. Device R13 is a photo sensor that
serves to prevent inadvertent triggering under daylight or other
high light conditions.
Choosing the right triac depends on the load characteristics. For
example, an incandescent lamp operating at 110 V requires a
200 V, 8 A triac. This gives sufficient margin to allow for the high
current state during lamp burn out. U2 provides a minimum out-
put triac negative gate trigger current of 40 mA, thus operating in
QII & QIII. This meets the requirements of a 25 mA gate triac.
Teccor also offers alternistor triacs for inductive load conditions.
This circuit has three operating modes (ON, AUTO, OFF), which
can be set through the mode pin. While the LSI chip is working in
the auto mode, the user can override it and switch to the test
mode, or manual on mode, or return to the auto mode by switch-
ing the power switch. More information on this circuit, such as
mask options for the infrared trigger pulse and flash options, are
available in the Holtek HT761X General Purpose PIR Controller
specifications.
