In this video author will present the most important facts about a controllable diode, the thyristor. He will also build a small experimental circuit to control AC voltage with the help of a triac.

This universal triac controller circuit with optocoupler solves the problem that triacs have when functioning at low temperatures (triac needs higher gate current) by adding a transistor at the output ...

can you please add following components? TRIAC (it does not work very well when i simulate it using two SCRs). This can be very usefull. Rail to rail OPAMP with power supply pins (currently the OPAMP ...

A triac is a "bidirectional thyristor" because it conducts in both directions and is typically used in AC applications. For standard triacs, current flow in either direction between the main terminals ...
