Static Relays » Static relays are slowly gaining ground and replacing electromagnetic relays. » Demerits are sensitivity to temperature and transients. » Ina static relay comparison of electrical quantities is performed by a static circuit. >» Emerged with the development of electronics / semiconductor technologies. = Semiconductor diodes, transistors, zener diodes, thyristors, logic gates, etc. » The first-generation static relays contained discrete components fitted on printed circuit boards. Static Relays .. » The second-generation static relays used integrated circuits. » Compact relays with ICs and PCBs are now common. » The relay hardware for electronic relays consists of both analogue and digital devices. >» Most common of all analogue logic devices is the operational amplifier (op-amp). > Op-amp can be used in many configurations to provide most of functions required by relays.
