A simple Google search shows that Isocom also make this device.

Yes, I saw them but are they a significant manufacturer ? I'm surprised more manufacturers don't appear to do zero-crossing triac drivers.

Isocom have been around for donkeys ages. I was buying their products back in the early 90's.

Taiwan manufacturer Lite-on makes some similar models with MOC prefix.

Motorola divested their optoelctronics to QT, which in turn was gobbled up by Fairchild.

There are functionally similar products from Toshiba and others, just have a look and compare specs and package/pinouts. This is not at all a rare functionality. If anything it's too jellybean for some suppliers.

Ah yes, I see Farnell stock them too. Thanks. And Fairchild do some internal house number ones too with diode trigger currents as low as 2 mA !

Make sure you have enough margin on the trigger current to cover both temperature and time effects.

You read my mind. ;~)

STCC08 functional description

The STCC08 is a power circuit designed to drive up to 10 mA IGT AC switches and to detect AC switch failure modes through MCU diagnostic. It embeds a logic switch driver, an AC switch diode mode detection, a short circuit detection and an AC switch open detection.

STCC08 can be powered by a 3.3 V or 5 V power supply voltage.

Farnell doesnt stock them but Digikey does
