Leaving CMOS inputs floating is generally a no-no.If I leave DIM2 floating ...
The dim mode pin has an internal pullup, 10uA.Leaving CMOS inputs floating is generally a no-no.
Internally it generates Vdd of 5V..... which is why I queried the Vdd values, since the maximum allowed voltage on the dim control pin is 6V.
Yes, see post #2.https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/...channel-back-to-back-mosfet-ac-dimmer.132455/
This sounds like my problem....
Ahh. That's what that meant...Yes, see post #2.
I don't have mains supply in my circuit. But if I did, that's good to know.The two circuit Gnds also need to be isolated from the mains supply ground, otherwise the MOSFETS will short Line to ground.
