We offer both fixed and adjustable timed-relay/SCR controllers for home appliance applications that have an AC power source. These timed-relay/SCR controllers are ideal for low-cost, high-volume applications such as home appliances, healthcare products, and industrial control systems, among others.
These timed-relay/SCR controllers play an important role in creating more power-efficient systems in appliances like irons, electric kettles, heaters, toasters, and coffee machines. A built-in timer automatically shuts the device off after a set usage period to prevent continual power consumption when not in use. Timers enable robust power-safety controls that can turn off systems to prevent injury to users or damage to equipment.
Our timed-relay/SCR controllers are standard ASIC products with integrated application-specific functionality to minimize cost, reduce design complexity, and promote a speedy time-to-market. Products range from simple timers to multi-functional devices with a wide selection of advanced capabilities, depending upon the family. These features include:
We also provide a variety of application-specific reference circuits to accelerate application design. These proven solutions meet the Energy-related Products (ErP) European directive by operating at less than 0.5W power consumption when in standby mode. Also available are designs that support both 110V and 220V AC power source input. We have been a leader in the home appliance industry for more than a decade and have experienced design teams available to assist you with design, production, and certification.
