Small thyristor gate driver includes built-in transformer

February 10, 2026 By Puja Mitra Leave a Comment

The STSID140-12 from STMicroelectronics is a thyristor gate driver for small AC-powered appliances such as hairdryers, dimmers and motor-driven loads, integrating an isolation transformer rated at 1250 V RMS. Packaged in a 5.35 mm × 3.45 mm DFN with 1.2 mm height, it supports zero-cross and phase-angle control and provides up to 40 mA gate current from a 3.3 V logic input for driving thyristors, triacs and solid-state relays. The device includes undervoltage lockout protection, high ESD immunity and is designed for surface-mount assembly to reduce manual wiring.
