1. Description

MAC97A8 is 600V, 4Q Triac. Planar passivated very sensitive gate four quadrant triac in a SOT54 plastic package intended to be interfaced directly to microcontrollers, logic integrated circuits and other low power gate trigger circuits.

(1) 600V: This indicates the maximum rated voltage that the Triac can handle without breaking down. In this case, it’s rated for voltages up to 600 volts AC. This means it can be used in AC circuits with a voltage of up to 600V.

(2) 4Q: Triacs are typically bidirectional devices, meaning they can control the flow of current in both directions through the device. The “4Q” designation confirms that this Triac is capable of conducting current in all four quadrants of its voltage-current characteristic, which makes it suitable for both AC switching and control.

2. Features and benefits

• Direct interfacing to logic level ICs

• Direct interfacing to low power gate drivers and microcontrollers

• High blocking voltage capability

• Planar passivated for voltage ruggedness and reliability

• Triggering in all four quadrants

• Very sensitive gate

 

 

3. Applications

• General purpose low power phase control

• General purpose low power switching

• Solid-state relay  […]

Description

The MAC97A6 designed for use in solid state relays, MPU interface, TTL logic and any other light industrial or consumer application. Supplied in an inexpensive TO–92 package which is readily adaptable for use in automatic insertion equipment.

A Triac is a type of solid-state AC switch that can be triggered on and off at any point in the AC waveform. It is commonly used for phase control applications such as dimming lights or controlling the speed of AC motors.

Triacs are similar in operation to thyristors, but unlike thyristors, triacs can switch both polarities of the AC waveform.

A triac consists of three layers of alternating P-type and N-type semiconductor material, arranged in a symmetrical structure. When the gate of the triac is triggered, it becomes conductive, allowing current to flow through the device. The triac will continue to conduct until the current falls below a certain threshold value, at which point it will turn off.
