IL4216, IL4217, IL4218
Vishay Semiconductors
DESCRIPTION
The IL4216, IL4217, IL4218 consists of an AlGaAs IRLED
optically coupled to a pair of photosensitive non-zero
crossing SCR chips and are connected inversely parallel to
form a TRIAC. These three semiconductors are assembled
in a six pin 0.3 inch dual in-line package.
High input sensitivity is achieved by using an emitter follower
phototransistor and a cascaded SCR predriver resulting in
an LED trigger current of less than 1.3 mA (DC).
The use of a proprietary dV/dt clamp results in a static dV/dt
of greater than 10 kV/µs. This clamp circuit has a MOSFET
that is enhanced when high dV/dt spikes occur between MT1
and MT2 of the TRIAC. The FET clamps the base of the
phototransistor when conducting, disabling the internal SCR
predriver.
The blocking voltage of up to 800 V permits control of off-line
voltages up to 240 VAC, with a safety factor more than two,
and is sufficient for as much as 380 VAC. Current handling
capability is up to 300 mA RMS, continuous at 25 °C.
The IL4216, IL4217, IL4218 isolates low-voltage logic from
120, 240, and 380 VAC lines to control resistive inductive, or
capacitive loads including motors solenoids, high current
thyristors or TRIAC and relays.

Note

Minimum and maximum values are testing requirements. Typical values are characteristics of the device and are the result of engineering
evaluation. Typical values are for information only and are not part of the testing requirements.
POWER FACTOR CONSIDERATIONS
A snubber is not needed to eliminate false operation of the
TRIAC driver because of the IL4216, IL4217, IL4218 high
static and commutating dV/dt with loads between 1 and 0.8
power factors. When inductive loads with power factors less
than 0.8 are being driven, include a RC snubber or a single
capacitor directly across the device to damp the peak
commutating dV/dt spike. Normally a commutating dV/dt
causes a turning-off device to stay on due to the stored
energy remaining in the turning-off device.

OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES POLICY STATEMENT
It is the policy of Vishay Semiconductor GmbH to
1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements.
2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems with
respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on the environment.
It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as ozone
depleting substances (ODSs).
The Montreal Protocol (1987) and its London Amendments (1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and forbid their use
within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban on these substances.
Vishay Semiconductor GmbH has been able to use its policy of continuous improvements to eliminate the use of ODSs listed in
the following documents.
1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively.
2. Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) in the USA.
3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C (transitional substances) respectively.
Vishay Semiconductor GmbH can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting substances and do
not contain such substances.
We reserve the right to make changes to improve technical design
and may do so without further notice.
Parameters can vary in different applications. All operating parameters must be validated for each customer application by the
customer. Should the buyer use Vishay Semiconductors products for any unintended or unauthorized application, the buyer shall
indemnify Vishay Semiconductors against all claims, costs, damages, and expenses, arising out of, directly or indirectly, any
claim of personal damage, injury or death associated with such unintended or unauthorized use.
