Description  
ACST8  
The ACST8 series belongs to the ACS/ACST power switch family built around A.S.D.  
(application specific discrete) technology. This high performance device is suited to  
home appliances or industrial systems and drives an induction motor up to 8 A.  
Product summary  
I
8 A  
This ACST8 switch embeds a Triac structure with a high voltage clamping device

Application information  
2.1  
Typical application descriptions  
The ACST8 device has been designed to control medium power load, such as AC motors in home appliances.  
Thanks to its thermal and turn off commutation performances, the ACST8 switch is able to drive an inductive load  
up to 8 A with no turn off additional snubber. It also provides high thermal performances in static and transient  
modes such as high torque operating conditions or inrush current of an AC motor.

AC line transient voltage ruggedness  
2.2  
AC line transient voltage ruggedness  
In comparison with standard Triacs, which are not robust against surge voltage, the ACST8 is self-protected  
against over-voltage, specified by the new parameter V

CL

. The ACST8 switch can safely withstand AC line  
transient voltages either by clamping the low energy spikes, such as inductive spikes at switch off, or by switching  
to the on state (for less than 10 ms) to dissipate higher energy shocks through the load. This safety feature works  
even with high turn-on current ramp up.  
The test circuit of
Figure 17
represents the ACST8 application, and is used to stress the ACST switch according  
to the IEC 61000-4-5 standard conditions. With the additional effect of the load which is limiting the current, the  
ACST switch withstands the voltage spikes up to 2 kV on top of the peak line voltage. The protection is based  
on an overvoltage crowbar technology. The ACST8 folds back safely to the on state as shown in
Figure 18
. The  
ACST4 recovers its blocking voltage capability after the surge and the next zero current crossing.  
Such a non repetitive test can be done at least 10 times on each AC line voltage polarity.
