6. Supply Voltage
The T2117 contains a voltage limiting funtion and can be connected with the mains supply via
the diode D1 and the resistor R1. The supply voltage between pin 5 and 7 is limited to a typical
value of 9.5 V.
The series resistance R1 can be calculated as follows (Figure 6-1 on page 6 and Figure 6-2 on
page 7):

Itot
= IS + IP + Ix
where
VM = Mains voltage
VS = Limiting voltage of the IC
Itot = Total current consumption
IS = Current requirement of the IC (without load)
Ix = Current requirement of other peripheral components
P(R1) = Power dissipation at R1
