A study on the ac power control using pic microcontroller

Abstract

The PIC microcontroller is responsible for the control of the object system. It takes input/output of data, selects and controls of peripheral IC, communication control of data and executes the program. It has flash program memory and EEPROM, so it can modify and extend the program. In addition, it has function of A/D conversion that coverts direct analog value into digital value and calculate data. Therefore, the PIC microprocessor chip having such functions is possible to simplify the existing complicated peripheral circuits to design the entire system easily. In this study, we design the AC power controller using PIC microcontroller and traic. Through the change of A/D value input directly to the microprecessor, the power controller was verified by experiment to control brightness of the incandescent lamp. As a result, it is confirmed that the AC power controller is well-controlled by phase control employing PIC microcontroller and traic. ? Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
