ACS120 Overview
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.
ACS120 Key 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 mA
- High noise immunity: static dV/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
