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.
