- Part of the ACS120-7SB comparator family.
- Part of the ACS120-7SB comparator family.
Features
- Blocking voltage: VDRM / VRRM = +/- 700 V
- Avalanche controlled: VCL typ. = 1100 V
- Nominal conducting current: IT(RMS) = 2 A
- Gate triggering current: IGT < 10 m A
- High noise immunity: static d V/dt > 500 V/µs
- Needs no more external protection snubber or varistor
- Enables equipment to meet IEC 61000-4-5
- Reduces ponent count up to 80%
- Interfaces directly with the micro controller
- Eliminates any gate kick back on the micro- controller
- Allows straightforward connection of several AC switches on same cooling pad
- production data
Applications
- AC static switching in appliance control systems
- Drive of low power high inductive or resistive loads like:
- Relay, valve, solenoid, dispenser
- Pump, fan, micro-motor
- Defrost heater
Description
The ACS120 belongs to the AC line switch family. This high-performance switch circuit is able to control a load of up to 2 A.
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.
