LS7539

Features:

• Touch Sensitivity guaranteed to 600pF Touch Plate Capacitance.
• Touch Operation independent of line plug polarity.
• Pin selection of three available Brightness Step Sequences.
• Minimal external components.
• AGC Loop stabilizes immediately after Power-Up.
• Brightness state is Off after AC power applied.
• Brightness state is unchanged if AC power interrupted for < 0.5 sec.
• Advanced CMOS design for reliable operating characteristics and low power.
• 50/60 Hz Line Frequency.
• +6V to +9.5V Operation (VDD-VSS).
• LS7538, LS7539 (DIP); LS7538-S, LS7539-S (SOIC) - See Figure 1


Application

• Screw-in and built-in adapter modules for converting table and floor lamps to touch control for step dimming.
• On-Off touch control of under-cabinet fluorescent lamps (LS7539 only).

Description

The LS7538 and LS7539 are CMOS integrated circuits which provide trigger pulses for triac phase control of incandescent lamps.
The circuits are designed to operate with a wide variety of lamp sizes ranging from small table lamps to large floor lamps.
The AGC Loop automatically adjusts Touch Sensitivity to be independent of lamp size.

There are 3 different Brightness Step Sequences for each version of the IC which can be selected by the Three-State
MODE pin as shown in Table 1.
