Description
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.

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

Benefits
• Needs no more external protection snubber or varistor
• Enables equipment to meet IEC 61000-4-5
• Reduces component count up to 80%
• Interfaces directly with the micro controller
• Eliminates any gate kick back on the microcontroller
• Allows straightforward connection of several AC switches on same cooling pad

Applications
• AC static switching in appliance control systems
• Drive of low power high inductive or resistive loads like:
    – Relay, valve, solenoid, dispenser
    – Pump, fan, micro-motor
    – Defrost heater
