Hi,
mission is:
to PWM control an AC line, the theory is up to mains. (i would like to point out that this is theoretical wonderings, not being put into action, one of my many daily wonderings)
i have read into TRIACs, but i wonder if they can handle PWM control?
how would one drive the TRIAC from a microprocessor? there have been mentions of optocouplers (For obvious reasons) but looking at this datasheet : http://www.fairchildsemi.com/ds/MO/MOC3010M.pdf it makes me wonder whether say driving a light, standard filament light requires additional circuitry.
also, is there any difference to driving an led bulb?
Like i say, just a theoretical question! hope you have a good weekend!
Chris
