Datasheet - production data
Benefits
• Enables equipment to meet IEC 61000-4-5
• High off-state reliability with planar technology
• Needs no external overvoltage protection
• Reduces the power passive component count
• High immunity against fast transients
described in IEC 61000-4-4 standards
Applications
• AC mains static switching in appliance and
industrial control systems
• Drive of medium power AC loads such as:
– Universal motor of washing machine drum
– Compressor for fridge or air conditioner
Description
The ACST6 series belongs to the ACS/ACST
power switch family built with A.S.D. (application
specific discrete) technology. This high
performance device is suited to home appliances
or industrial systems, and drives loads up to 6 A.
This ACST6 switch embeds a Triac structure and
a high voltage clamping device able to absorb the
inductive turn-off energy and withstand line
transients such as those described in the
IEC 61000-4-5 standards. The ACST610 needs
only low gate current to be activated (IGT < 10
mA) and still shows a high noise immunity
complying with IEC standards such as IEC
61000-4-4 (fast transient burst test).
