Description

The ACS108-6S belongs to the AC line switch family. This high performance switch can control a load of up to 0.8A.

The ACS108-6S switch includes an overvoltage crowbar structure to absorb the overvoltage energy, and a gate level shifter driver to separate the digital controller from the main switch. It is triggered with a negative gate current flowing out of the gate pin.

Main product characteristics

■ Overvoltage protection by crowbar technology

■ High noise immunity - static dV/dt > 500 V/µs

Benefits

■ Needs no external protection snubber or varistor.

■ Enables equipment to meet IEC 61000-4-5.

■ Reduces component count by up to 80.

■ Interfaces directly with the micro-controller.

■ Common package tab connection supports connection of several alternating current switches (ACS) on the same cooling pad.

■ Integrated structure based on ASD(a) technology

Applications

■ AC ON/OFF static switching in appliances and industrial control systems

■ Drive of low power high inductive or resistive loads like:

– relay, valve, solenoid,

– dispenser, door lock

– pump, fan, micro-motor
