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

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

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⁽¹⁾ technology
