Abstract:
A novel approach for the control of AC power uses power MOSFETs in a bidirectional switch subcircuit configuration having an optically coupled, electrically floating control circuit that self-biases the switches into the “on” state and uses an optically coupled control element to force the switches into the “off state. The time constant of the control circuit is fast enough to allow phase control as well as on-off control. A plurality of subcircuits can be easily cascaded to provide improved performance.

Claim (Index 3):
The bidirectional electronic switch circuit of  claim 1  further comprising first and second bidirectional electronic switch control terminals wherein the switch comprises a photo-activated electronic device characterized by a conductance proportional to the intensity of illumination incident upon the photo-activated electronic device and connected from the first switch device control terminal to the second switch device control terminal; and a light emitting device connected to first and second bidirectional electronic switch control terminals and arranged to illuminate the photo-activated device wherein the intensity of the light emitted by the light emitting device is proportional to the amplitude of an external control signal applied to the first and second bidirectional electronic switch control terminals.
