(600 Volts Peak)
The MOC3051 Series consists of a GaAs infrared LED optically coupled to a
non–Zero–crossing silicon bilateral AC switch (triac). The MOC3051 Series
isolates low voltage logic from 115 and 240 Vac lines to provide random phase
control of high current triacs or thyristors. The MOC3051 Series features greatly
enhanced static dv/dt capability to ensure stable switching performance of
inductive loads.

Phase Control Considerations
LED Trigger Current versus PW (normalized)
Random Phase Triac drivers are designed to be phase
controllable. They may be triggered at any phase angle with-
in the AC sine wave. Phase control may be accomplished by
an AC line zero cross detector and a variable pulse delay
generator which is synchronized to the zero cross detector.
The same task can be accomplished by a microprocessor
which is synchronized to the AC zero crossing. The phase
controlled trigger current may be a very short pulse which
saves energy delivered to the input LED. LED trigger pulse
currents shorter than 100
µs
must have an increased ampli-
tude as shown on Figure 4. This graph shows the dependen-
cy of the trigger current IFT versus the pulse width t (PW).
The reason for the IFT dependency on the pulse width can be
seen on the chart delay t(d) versus the LED trigger current.
IFT in the graph IFT versus (PW) is normalized in respect to
the minimum specified IFT for static condition, which is speci-
fied in the device characteristic. The normalized IFT has to be
multiplied with the devices guaranteed static trigger current.
Example:
Guaranteed IFT = 10 mA, Trigger pulse width PW = 3

IFT (pulsed) = 10 mA x 5 = 50 mA

Figure 5. Minimum Time for LED Turn–Off to Zero
Cross of AC Trailing Edge
Minimum LED Off Time in Phase Control Applications
In Phase control applications one intends to be able to
control each AC sine half wave from 0 to 180 degrees. Turn
on at zero degrees means full power and turn on at 180 de-
gree means zero power. This is not quite possible in reality
because triac driver and triac have a fixed turn on time when
activated at zero degrees. At a phase control angle close to
180 degrees the driver’s turn on pulse at the trailing edge of
the AC sine wave must be limited to end 200
µs
before AC
zero cross as shown in Figure 5. This assures that the triac
driver has time to switch off. Shorter times may cause loss of
control at the following half cycle.

Figure 8. ED Trigger Current, IFT, versus dv/dt
IFT versus dv/dt
Triac drivers with good noise immunity (dv/dt static) have
internal noise rejection circuits which prevent false triggering
of the device in the event of fast raising line voltage tran-
sients. Inductive loads generate a commutating dv/dt that
may activate the triac drivers noise suppression circuits. This
prevents the device from turning on at its specified trigger
current. It will in this case go into the mode of “half waving” of
the load. Half waving of the load may destroy the power triac
and the load.
Figure 8 shows the dependency of the triac drivers IFT ver-
sus the reapplied voltage rise with a Vp of 400 V. This dv/dt
condition simulates a worst case commutating dv/dt ampli-
tude.
It can be seen that the IFT does not change until a commu-
tating dv/dt reaches 1000 V/µs. Practical loads generate a
commutating dv/dt of less than 50 V/µs. The data sheet spe-
cified IFT is therefore applicable for all practical inductive
loads and load factors.

t(f)
t(delay), t(f) versus IFT
The triac driver’s turn on switching speed consists of a turn
on delay time t(d) and a fall time t(f). Figure 9 shows that the
delay time depends on the LED trigger current, while the ac-
tual trigger transition time t(f) stays constant with about one
micro second.
The delay time is important in very short pulsed operation
because it demands a higher trigger current at very short trig-
ger pulses. This dependency is shown in the graph IFT ver-
sus LED PW.
The turn on transition time t(f) combined with the power
triac’s turn on time is important to the power dissipation of
this device.

3. The worst–case condition for static dv/dt is established by
PROBE
triggering the D.U.T. with a normal LED input current, then
removing the current. The variable RTEST allows the dv/dt to
be gradually increased until the D.U.T. continues to trigger in
response to the applied voltage pulse, even after the LED
current has been removed. The dv/dt is then decreased until
the D.U.T. stops triggering.
