Triac Control Using the COP400 Microcontroller Family

The COP400 single-chip controller family members provide computational ability and speed which is more than adequate to intelligently manage power control. These controllers provide digital control while low cost and short turnaround enhance COPSTM desirability. The COPS controllers are capable of 4 ms cycle times which can provide more than adequate computational ability when controlling 60 Hz line voltage. Input and output options available on the COPS devices can contour the device to apply in many electrical situations. A more detailed description of COPS qualifications is available in the COP400 data sheets.
