ACS108-8SUN:Overvoltage protected AC switch

The ACS108-8SUN belongs to the AC line switch range (built with A.S.D.®technology).This high performance switch can control a load of up to 0.8 A.

The ACS108-8SUN 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.

Key Features

  • Less footprint area than SOT-223 (saves PCB)
  • ECOPACK® 2 compliant component
  • Thinner option versus SOT-223 (1.1 mm max. thickness)
  • Enables equipment to meet IEC 61000-4-5
  • High noise immunity against static dV/dt and IEC 61000-4-4 burst
  • Overvoltage protection by crowbar technology
  • Needs no external protection snubber or varistor
  • Reduces component count by up to 80% and Interfaces directly with the micro-controller
  • VCL gives headroom before clamping then crowbar action
  • Common package tab connection supports connection of several alternating current switches on the same cooling pad
