Technical content

Features

 Enables equipment to meet IEC 61000-4-5 surge with overvoltage crowbar technology  High noise immunity against static dV/dt and IEC 61000-4-4 burst  Needs no external protection snubber or varistor  Reduces component count by up to 80% and Interfaces directly with the micro-controller  Common package tab connection supports connection of several alternating current switches on the same cooling pad  VCL gives headroom before clamping then crowbar action

Applications

 Alternating current on/off static switching in appliances and industrial control systems  Driving low power high inductive or resistive loads like: – relay, valve, solenoid, dispenser, – pump, fan, low power motor, door lock –l a m p

Description

The ACS108 belongs to the AC switch range (built with A. S. D.® technology). This high performance switch can control a load of up to 0.8 A. The ACS108 switch includes an overvoltage crowbar structure to absorb the inductive turn-off 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. Figure 1. Functional diagram Table 1. Device summary OUT Output to connect to the load.
