Description
COM
The ACS108 belongs to the AC switch range
(built with A. S. D.® technology). This high
COM G performance switch can control a load of up to 0.8
COM A. The ACS108 switch includes an overvoltage
OUT G OUT
crowbar structure to absorb the inductive turn-off
TO-92 SOT-223 energy, and a gate level shifter driver to separate
ACS108-6SA ACS108-6SN
the digital controller from the main switch. It is
ACS108-8SA ACS108-8SN
triggered with a negative gate current flowing out
of the gate pin.

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
Figure 16.
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.
