APPLICATIONS:
• 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.

The lamp brightness is made to vary by changing the delay of the TRIG pulse to the triac from the zero-crossing of the
SYNC input. The delays are shown in Table 2 for 50Hz and 60Hz operation along with Delivered Power as a percentage
of Full Power. Figure 2 illustrates the delay.
