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
■ V
gives headroom before clamping then

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
–lamp
Description
The ACS108 belongs to the AC switch range (built
with A. S. D.
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.
