3 Applications
1 • Triggering device for Triac or SCR based motor / light dimmer
SOT-23 • 32 V trigger device for oscillator circuit
Pin 1 and 3 must be shorted • Start up triggering in lighting ballast for CFL, TL or LED lamps
together
Description
Functioning as a trigger diode with a fixed voltage reference, the DB3/DB4 series can
be used in conjunction with triacs for simplified gate control circuits or as a starting
element in fluorescent lamp ballasts.
The surface mount SOT23-3L package allows compact, SMD based designs for
automated manufacturing.
