AC LINE SWITCH BASIC APPLICATION
The ACS102 device is well adapted to washing machine, dish washer, tumble drier, refrigerator, water
heaters, and cookware. It has been designed especially to switch on & off low power loads such as solenoid, valve, relay, dispenser, micro-motor, pump, fan, door lock, and low wattage lamps bulbs.
PinCOM : Common drive reference to connect to the power line neutral
Pin G: Switch Gate input to connect to the digital controller through a resistor
Pin OUT: Switch Output to connect to the load
This ACS switch is triggered with a negative gate current flowing out of the gate pin G. It can be driven directly by the digital controller through a resistor as shown on the typical application diagram. No protection
device (zener or capacitor) are required between gate and COM terminals.
The SO-8 version allows to connect several ACS102 devices on the same cooling PCB pad which is the
COM pin.
In appliances systems, the ACS102 switch intends to drive low power load in full cycle ON / OFF mode.
The turn off commutation characteristics of these loads are described in table 1.
Thanks to its thermal and turn off commutation performances, the ACS102 switch is able to drive with no
turn off aid snubber a load up to 0.2 A (door lock, lamp, relay, valve & micro motor) when this load has to
switch off withinone half AC line cycle, and up to 0.3 A (pump, fan) when this load can switch off within one
full AC line cycle.

HIGH INDUCTIVE SWITCH-OFF OPERATION
At the end of the last conduction half-cycle, the load current reaches the holding current level I
, and the
H
ACS™ switch turns off. Because of the inductance L of the load, the current flows through the avalanche
diode D and decreases linearly to zero. During this time, the voltage across the switch is limited to the
clamping voltage V
The energy stored in the inductance of the load depends on the holding current I
CL
.
and the inductance (up
H
to10 H); it canreach about 20mJ and is dissipatedin the clampingdiode section. The ACSswitch sustains
the turn off energy , because its clamping section is designed for that purpose.

AC LINE TRANSIENT VOLTAGE RUGGEDNESS
The ACS102 switch is able to sustain safely the AC line transient voltages either by clamping the low energyspikes or bybreaking over underhigh energy shocks,even withhigh turn-on currentrates of increase.
The test circuit of the figure 3 is representative of the final ACS application and is also used to stress the
ACS switch according to the IEC1000-4-5 standard conditions. Thanks to the load, the ACS switch sustains the voltage spikes up to 2 kV above the peak line voltage. It will breaks over safely even on resistive
loadwhere the turn on current rate of increase ishigh as shown on figure 4. Such non repetitivetest can be
done 10 times on each AC line voltage polarity.
