staircase, child鈥檚 bedroom, teenage study area.
鈥?IN-LINE SWITCH for table lamps.
DESCRIPTION:
The LS7338 is a monolithic MOS integrated circuit designed to turn a
triac On and Off in a Power Switch for Incandescent Lighting. Ac-
tivation of SENSE or SLAVE inputs turns the triac On and starts a
timer. The triac remains On for the duration of the Timer which is
controlled by an external R-C connected to the OSCILLATOR input.
When Time-out occurs, the power delivered by the triac is stepped
down by 31% and then slowly reduced to Off over a fixed period of
time.
In a typical application (Figure 5), the output of the LS7338 drives
the gate of a triac in series with the load.
There are three states through which the LS7338 can be stepped.
The states and their corresponding operating mode, phase angles
and delivered power levels are shown in Table 1.

OPERATING DESCRIPTION:
Upon power up, internal power-on-reset starts the LS7338 in
STATE 0. When the SENSE input transitions to logic 0, or the
SLAVE input transitions to logic 1, the IC steps to STATE 1.
When implemented as shown in the application example (Fig-
ure 5), this is accomplished by touching the appropriate Sensor
Plate. Subsequent similar transitions at SENSE or SLAVE in-
puts cause the LS7338 to step through the sequence:
STATE 0 --> STATE 1 --> STATE 2 --> STATE 0, etc.
STATE 1 and STATE 2 are quasi-stable states. If left in STATE
1, after a time-out period determined by the frequency set at
the OSC input (See I/O Description, Pin 6), the IC automatically
steps to STATE 2. (If the OSC input is deactivated, STATE 1
becomes stable and its OPERATING MODE is denoted as On).
When the IC steps from STATE 1 to STATE 2, the output
phase angle 酶 changes from 159藲 to 107藲. This corresponds to
a delivered power reduction of 31%, which causes a reduction
of lamp brightness. This brightness change provides the user
with a positive indication that the transition from STATE 1 to
STATE 2 has occurred. The Time-out period for STATE 2 is
fixed at 209 seconds for 60Hz operation. (See Note 1.)
T
D1
= STATE 1 Time-out period.
T
D2
= STATE 2 Time-out period.
During the STATE 2 Time-out, the TRIG phase angle 酶 (See
Figure 2) is ramped down from 107藲 to 41藲 in decrements of
1.4藲. When
酶
reaches 41藲, the IC automatically steps to STATE
0, shutting the TRIG and lamp Off.
The slow Dim-to-Off in STATE 2 gives the user a continuing re-
minder that Delayed-Off is operating and provides the time and
light with which to leave the area or to recycle the Light Switch.
A new operating sequence from STATE 0 can be started only by
transitions at the SENSE and SLAVE inputs.
