ACS108-8TN
Overvoltage protected AC switch (ACSTM)
Datasheet - production data
Description
The ACS108-8TN 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.
CO M
The ACS108-8TN 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
The ACS108-8TN 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: "Typical application schematic".
Thanks to its over-voltage protection and turn-off commutation performance, the
ACS108-8TN switch can drive a small power high inductive load with neither varistor nor
additional turn-off snubber.

Protection against overvoltage: the best choice is ACS
In comparison with standard Triacs the ACS108-8TN is overvoltage self-protected, as
specified by the new parameter VCL. 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
ACS108-8TN
High inductive load switch-off: turn-off over-voltage 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 IH.
As shown in Figure 17, at the end of the last conduction half-cycle, the load current
decreases ①. The load current reaches the holding current level IH ②, and the ACS turns
off ③. 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 VCL. 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) ⑤.

Alternating current mains transient voltage ruggedness
The ACS108-8TN 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.
The test circuit shown in Figure 18 is representative of the final ACS108-8TN 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 ACS108-8TN 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 ACS108-8TN breaks over safely as shown in Figure 19.
The ACS108-8TN 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.
