Description

The ACS120 belongs to the AC line switch family. This high performance switch circuit is able to control a load of up to 2 A.

Features

• Blocking voltage: VDRM / VRRM = +/- 700 V

• Avalanche controlled: VCL typ. = 1100 V

• Nominal conducting current: IT(RMS) = 2 A

• Gate triggering current: IGT < 10 mA

• High noise immunity: static dV/dt > 500 V/µs

Benefits

• Needs no more external protection snubber or varistor

• Enables equipment to meet IEC 61000-4-5

• Reduces component count up to 80

• Interfaces directly with the micro controller

• Eliminates any gate kick back on the microcontroller

• Allows straightforward connection of several AC switches on same cooling pad

Applications

• AC static switching in appliance control systems

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

– Relay, valve, solenoid, dispenser

– Pump, fan, micro-motor

– Defrost heater
