AC LINE SWITCH BASIC APPLICATION
The ACS108 device is well adapted to washing machines, dishwashers, tumble driers, refrigerators, water
heaters and cookware. It has been especially designed to switch ON and OFF low power loads such as
solenoids, valves, relays, dispensers, micro-motors, fans, pumps, door locks and low power lamp bulbs.
Pin COM
Pin G
Pin OUT
This ACS™ switch is triggered with a negative gate current flowing out of the gate pin G. It can be driven
directly by the digital controller through a resistor as shown on the typical application diagram. No protec-
tion devices are required between the gates and common terminals.
The SOT-223 version allows several ACS108 devices to be connected on the same cooling PCB pad
which is the COM pin : this cooling pad can be then reduced, and the printed circuit layout is simplified.
In appliance systems, the ACS108 switch intends to drive low power load in full cycle ON/OFF mode. The
turn off commutation characteristics of these loads can be classified in 3 groups as shown in Table 1.
Thanks to its thermal and turn-off commutation characteristics, the ACS108 switch drives a load, such as
door lock, lamp, relay, valve and micro motor, up to 0.2 A without any turn-off aid circuit. Switching off the
ACS within one full AC line cycle will extend its current up to 0.8 A on resistive load.
