7.8 Design Calculations for Main Supply
The following equations can be used for the evaluation of the series resistor R1 for worst case
conditions:
R1max
=
0.85
-V----M----m----i-n----–----V-----S---m----a---x
2 Itot
R1min
=
V-----M-----–-----V----S---m----i-n-
2 ISmax
P ( R1max )
=
(---V----M----m----a---x----–----V----S----m----i-n---)--2-
2 R1
where:
VM
VS
Itot
ISmax
Ip
Ix
= Mains voltage
= Supply voltage on pin 3
= Total DC current requirement of the circuit
= IS + Ip + Ix
= Current requirement of the IC in mA
= Average current requirement of the triggering pulse
= Current requirement of other peripheral components
R1 can be easily evaluated from the Figure 10-14 on page 19, Figure 10-15 on page 19 and
Figure 10-16 on page 20.
