Description  
The

belongs to the AC switch range (built with A. S. D.

®

technology).  
This high performance switch can control a load of up to 0.8 A.  
Product status link  
This device 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.

Alternating current mains switch – basic application

Alternating current mains switch – basic application  
The ACS108 switch is triggered by a negative gate current flowing from the gate pin G. The switch can be driven  
directly by the digital controller through a resistor as shown in

Thanks to its overvoltage protection and turn-off commutation performance, the ACS108 switch can drive a small  
power high inductive load with neither varistor nor additional turn-off snubber.

2.1  
Protection against overvoltage: the best choice is ACS  
In comparison with standard Triacs the ACS108 is over-voltage self-protected, as specified by the parameter V

CL  

This feature is useful in two operating conditions: in case of turn-off of very inductive load, and in case of surge  
voltage that can occur on the electrical network.  
.
2.1.1  
High inductive load switch-off: turn-off overvoltage clamping  
With high inductive and low rms current loads the rate of decrease of the current is very low. An overvoltage can  
occur when the gate current is removed and the OUT current is lower than I

H

.

, at the end of the last conduction half-cycle, the load current decreases

. The load current reaches the  
holding current level I

②
, and the ACS turns off
③
. The water valve, as an inductive load (up to 15 H), reacts  
as a current generator and an overvoltage is created, which is clamped by the ACS
④
. The current flows through  
the ACS avalanche and decreases linearly to zero. During this time, the voltage across the switch is limited to the

clamping voltage V

CL

. The energy stored in the inductance of the load is dissipated in the clamping section that is  
designed for this purpose. When the energy has been dissipated, the ACS voltage falls back to the mains voltage  
value (230 V rms, 50 Hz)

2.1.2  
Alternating current mains transient voltage ruggedness  
The ACS108 switch is able to withstand safely the AC mains transients either by clamping the low energy spikes  
or by breaking-over when subjected to high energy shocks, even with high turn-on current rises.  

25 °C (conditions equivalent to IEC 61000-4-5 standard)

is representative of the final ACS108 application, and is  
also used to test the AC switch according to the IEC 61000-4-5 standard conditions. Thanks to the load limiting  
the current, the ACS108 switch withstands the voltage spikes up to 2 kV above the peak mains voltage. The  
protection is based on an overvoltage crowbar technology. Actually, the ACS108 breaks over safely as shown in  
The ACS108 recovers its blocking voltage capability after the surge (switch off back at the next zero crossing of  
the current).  
Such non-repetitive tests can be done 10 times on each AC mains voltage polarity.
