IL4118 Optocoupler, Phototriac Output, Zero Crossing, Very Low Input Current

* oSolid-state relay

* oLighting controls

* oTemperature controls

* oSolenoid / valve controls

* oAC motor drives / starters

* oDirect switching operation: The IL4116, IL4117, IL4118 isolated switch is mainly suited to control synchronous motors, valves, relays and solenoids. Fig. 11 shows a basic driving circuit. For resistive load the snubber circuit RS CS can be omitted due to the high static dV/dt characteristic.

* oIndirect switching operation: The IL4116, IL4117, IL4118 switch acts here as an isolated driver and thus enables the driving of power thyristors and power triacs by microprocessors. Fig. 12 shows a basic driving circuit of inductive load. The resister R1 limits the driving current pulse which should not exceed the maximum permissible surge current of the IL4116, IL4117, IL4118.  The resister RG is needed only for very sensitive thyristors or triacs from being triggered by noise or the inhibit current.
