1. Product profile
1.1 General description
Planar passivated very sensitive gate four quadrant triac in a SOT78 plastic package
intended fo r use in general purpose b idirectional switching and phase co ntrol applications,
where high sensitivity is required in all four quadrants. This very sensitive gate "series D"
triac is intended to be interfaced directly to microcontrollers, logic integrated circuits and
other low power gate trigger circuits.
1.2 Features and benefits
Direct triggering from low power
drivers and logic ICs
High blocking voltage capability
Low holding current for low current
loads and lowest EMI at commutation
Planar passivated for voltage
ruggedness and reliability
Triggering in all four quadrants
Very sensitive gate
1.3 Applications
General purpose motor control General purpose switching

Suitability for useNXP Semiconductors products are not designed,
authorized or warranted to be suitable for use in life support, life-critical or
safety-critical systems or equipment, nor in applications where failure or
malfunction of an NXP Semiconductors product can reasonably be expect ed
to result in perso nal injury, death or severe property or environmental
damage. NXP Semiconductors accepts no liab ility for inclusion and/or use of
NXP Semiconductors products in such equipment or applications and
therefore such inclusion and/or use is at the customer’s own risk.
Quick reference data — The Quick reference dat a i s an extract of the
product data given in the Limiting values and Characteristics sections of this
document, and as such is not complete, exhaustive or legally binding.
Applications — Applications that are described herein for any of these
products are for illustrative purposes only. NXP Semiconductors makes no
representation or warranty that such applications will be suitable for the
specified use without further testing or modification.
Customers are responsible for the design and ope ration of their applications
and products using NXP Semiconductors product s, and NXP Semiconductors
accepts no liability for any assistance with applications or customer product
design. It is customer’s sole responsibility to determine whether the NXP
Semiconductors product is suit able and fit for the custome r’s applications and
products planned, as well as fo r the planned application and use of
customer’s third party customer(s). Custo mers should provide appropriate
design and operating safeguards to minimize the risks associate d with t heir
applications and products.
NXP Semiconductors does not accept any liabil i ty related to any default,
damage, costs or problem which is based on any weakness or default in the
customer’s applications or products, or the application or use by customer’s
third party custo m er(s). Customer is responsible for doing all necessa ry
testing for the customer’s applications and products using NXP
Semiconductors products in order to avoid a default of the applications and
the products or of the application or use by customer’s third party
customer(s). NXP does not accept any liability in this respect.
Limiting values — Stress above one or more limiting values (as defined in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings System of IEC 60134) will cause permanent
damage to the device. Limiting values are stress rating s only and (proper)
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those given in
the Recommended operating conditions section (if present) or the
Characteristics sections of this document is not warranted. Constant or
repeated exposure to limiting values will permanently and irreversibly affect
the quality and reliability of the device.
