ASD™
AC Switch Family
ACS108-5Sx
AC LINE SWITCH
MAIN APPLICATIONS
s AC on-off static switching in appliance &
industrial control systems
s Drive of low power high inductive or resistive
loads like:
- relay, valve, solenoid, dispenser
- pump, fan, micro-motor
- low power lamp bulb, door lock
FEATURES
s Blocking voltage: VDRM / VRRM = 500V
s Clamping voltage: VCL = 600V
s Nominal current: IT(RMS) = 0.8 A
s Gate triggering current : IGT < 10 mA
s Triggering current is sourced by the gate
s Switch integrated driver
s Drive reference COM connected to the SOT-223
tab
BENEFITS
s Needs no external overvoltage protection.
s Enables the equipment to meet IEC61000-4-5
standard.
s Allows straightforward connection of several
SOT-223 devices on the same cooling pad.
s Reduces the switch component count by up to
80%.
s Interfaces directly with the microcontroller.
s Eliminates any stressing gate kick back on the
microcontroller.

DESCRIPTION
The ACS108 belongs to the AC line switches built
around the ASD™ concept. This high performance
device is able to control an 0.8 A load device.
The ACS™ switch embeds a high voltage
clamping 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.
